Identify the function which represents a periodic motion

Identify the function which represents a periodic motion

Options

  1. Ae\omegat{e}^{\omegat}
  2. Blog⁡e(\omegat)\log_{e} ( \omegat )
  3. Csin⁡(\omegat)+cos⁡(\omegat)\sin \left(\omegat\right) + \cos \left(\omegat\right)
  4. De−\omegat{e}^{- \omegat}

Correct answer

C. sin⁡(\omegat)+cos⁡(\omegat)\sin \left(\omegat\right) + \cos \left(\omegat\right)

Step-by-step solution

The function is said to be periodic if we can write it in to form of, y=Asin(\omegat+ϕ)y = Asin\left(\omegat + ϕ\right).

In the above options only we can write, sin⁡(\omegat)+cos⁡(\omegat)\sin \left(\omegat\right) + \cos \left(\omegat\right), in the form of, sinsin\left(\omegat\right)cos(π4)+cos⁡(\omegat)sin⁡(π4)=1×sin⁡(\omegat+π4)\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right) + \cos \left(\omegat\right)\sin \left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1 \times \sin \left(\omegat + \dfrac{\pi}{4}\right), so we can say that, sin⁡(\omegat)+cos⁡(\omegat)\sin \left(\omegat\right) + \cos \left(\omegat\right) is a periodic function.
