Definition of Periodic Function

For a function f(x), if there exists a non - zero constant T such that for any x in its domain, f(x + T) = f(x) holds, then f(x) is called a periodic function,…

Formula and explanation

For a function f(x), if there exists a non - zero constant T such that for any x in its domain, f(x + T) = f(x) holds, then f(x) is called a periodic function, and T is called a period of this function. Applicable Condition: The domain of the function must satisfy that both x and x + T are within the domain. Explanation: The minimal positive period is the smallest among all positive periods.
