First of all, HI! This is my first post and my first day in this forum. =)
I am having quite a problem demystifying this function. It's on a book I have and it clearly states that it isn't periodical. I can't reach that conclusion and was hoping you could help me out.
So, the function in question is [tex]x(t)=sin(\pi t)cos(10t)[/tex]
What I did was to deconstruct this into
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\left[ sin(\pi t+10t)-sin(\pi t-10t)\right][/tex]
Now, I think that the period of the first sin is [tex]\frac{2\pi}{\pi +10}[/tex] and the one from the second sin is [tex]\frac{2\pi}{\pi -10}[/tex].
I then try to find the fundamental period of the whole function:
[tex]n\frac{2\pi}{\pi +10}=m\frac{2\pi}{\pi -10}\Rightarrow m=\pi -10[/tex] and [tex]n=\pi+10 \Rightarrow T=2\pi[/tex]
I know I have to be doing something wrong and possibly it's also really basic, but I got stuck.
Can anyone help me out? =)
