The period of f(x)= ( x n-1 )+ ( x n ), n Z, n 2 is
Options
- A2 n(n-1)
- B4 n(n-1)
- C2 n(n-1)
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
C. 2 n(n-1)
Step-by-step solution
Given that, f(x)= ( x n-1 )+ ( x n ) Let f(x)=g(x)+p(x), n 2 Period of g(x)= 2 (n-1) =2(n-1) and period of p(x)= 2 n =2 n Period of f(x)= LCM of p(x) and q(x)=2 n(n-1)
