Question

If T is the period of the function fx=8x+7+tan2πx+cot2πx-8x  (where [.] denotes the greatest integer function), then the value of T  is ______

Moderate
Solution

fx=8x+7+tan2πx+cot2πx-8x=8x-8x+7+tan2πx+cot2πx=-8x+tan2πx+cot2πx+7Periodof8xis1/8.Also,tan2πx+cot2πx=sin2πxcos2πx+cos2πxsin2πx=1sin2πxcos2πx=2cosec4πx

Now, period of 2cosec4πxis1/2.Thenperiodof2cosec4πxis1/4

Therefore, period is L.C.M of  18and14whichis14.
