Useful Identities
• sin sin cos cos sin
• cos cos cos sin sin
Notes
• Any function can be considered periodic with period zero, this period is trivial and is not
considered as a period.
• If is a period of , then is a period for any integer .
Proof:
want:
we know that

• If is a period then is not necessarily a period.
Fundamental Period
The most interesting period for a periodic function is the smallest positive period , this period is called
the Fundamental Period.
The fundamental period of
• sin is 2
• sin 3 is

Therefore if we know the curve of a periodic function on , , then we can draw the entire graph.

The formula of the Fourier Inverse Sine Transform sin is true when is
continuous at . Moreover , recall that is computed for odd function .
If we extend to be odd , we get
Not continuous at 0 when taking , so we use Dirichlet's Theorem.
