Periodic versus non-periodic function

As part of the first homework in ECE301 this semester, we were asked to give an example of a periodic function as well as an example of a non-periodic function. Here are my answers. A precise definition of periodic function can be found on my colleague Brian Thomas' page.

Periodic Function

Example of Periodic Function since it is a repeated signal every cycle --> Triangle Wave

Non-Periodic Function
