Periodic Function
A CT periodic function: $ \,y(t)=sin(t) $
Proof
To prove a function is periodic first you have to know the definition of a periodic fucntion
A periodic function is a function that repeats its values after some definite period has been added to its independent variable. This property is called periodicity.
Let's say we have:
$ \,y(t+T)=sin(t+T) $, $ \,T=2\pi $
Therefore, $ \,sin(t+T)=sin(t+2\pi) $
and $ \,sin(t+2\pi)=sin(t) $
The function repeats itself in a certain period which is $ 2\pi $ so it's a periodic function.
Non-periodic Function
A CT non-periodic function:
$ \,y(t)=t $
