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 ______
fx=8x+7+tan2πx+cot2πx-8x =8x-8x+7+tan2πx+cot2πx =-8x+tan2πx+cot2πx+7Period of 8x is 1/8.Also, tan2πx+cot2πx=sin2πxcos2πx+cos2πxsin2πx =1sin2πxcos2πx=2 cosec 4πx
Now, period of 2 cosec 4πx is 1/2. Then period of 2 cosec 4πx is 1/4
Therefore, period is L.C.M of 18 and 14 which is 14.
