Periodic versus non-periodic functions (hw1, ECE301)
Read the instructor's comments here.
Periodic Function
An example of a CT periodic function is $ y=cos(t) $. The graph shows that the equation is periodic because
$ cos(t) = cos(t + T) $
Non-Periodic Function
An example of a DT non-periodic function is $ y=cos(n) $. The graph shows that the equation is non-periodic because
there is no integer value for N which makes $ cos(n) = cos(n + N) $ true.
