Consider the signal $ x(t)=cos(t) $ over the interval 0 to $ 4\pi $

Average Power

$ Avg. Power = {1\over(t2-t1)}\int_{t_1}^{t_2}\!|x(t)|^2 dt $


$ Avg. Power = {1\over(4\pi-0)}\int_{0}^{4\pi}\!|cos(t)|^2 dt $


$ Avg. Power = {1\over(4\pi)}{1\over2}\int_{0}^{4\pi}\!(1+cos(2t)) dt $


$ Avg. Power = {1\over8\pi}(4\pi+{1\over2}sin(8\pi)) $


$ Avg. Power = {1\over2} $

Energy

$ f(t)=cos(t) $


$ P = \int_{t_1}^{t_2}\!|x(t)|^2\ dt $


$ P = \int_{0}^{4\pi}\!|cos(t)|^2\ dt $


$ P = {1\over2}\int_{0}^{4\pi}\!(1+cos(2t)) dt $


$ P = {1\over2}(4\pi+{1\over2}sin(8\pi)) $


$ P = 2\pi $
