periodic function is defined as a function that repeats its values at regular intervals or periods. Such functions return the same value at regular intervals. This regular interval is known as the period of the function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A function $f(x)$ is said to be periodic with period $T$ if $f(x + T) = f(x)$, for $T \\gt 0$. The least positive value of T is called the fundamental period.In trigonometry, you must have seen graphs in which functions repeat themselves. The length of one complete cycle of a trigonometric function is referred to as the period of the function. Look at the graph of the function sin x. You can see that the graph repeats itself after equal interval of 2. Thus, the period of the sine function is 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/understanding-period-using-the-graph-of-sin-function.png\" alt=\"Understanding period using the graph of sin function\" class=\"wp-image-35975\" title=\"Understanding period using the graph of sin function\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-period-of-trigonometric-functions\">Period of Trigonometric Functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table wj-custom-table\"><table class=\"wj-table-class\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Function<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Period<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$sin\\; x$<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$2\\pi$<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$cos\\; x$<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$2\\pi$<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$tan\\; x$<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$\\pi$<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$cosec\\; x$<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$2\\pi$<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$sec\\; x$<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$2\\pi$<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$cot\\; x$<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$\\pi$<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-period-formula-period-of-a-function\">Period Formula: Period of a Function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>$T =  \\frac{Period of parent function}{| Coefficient of x |}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> Period of $sin\\; 2x = T = \\frac{2\\pi}{2} = \\pi$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frequency $= F = \\frac{1}{Period} = \\frac{1}{T}$<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frequency refers to the number of times the graph of a function repeats itself in a given amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-periods-in-place-value-chart\">Periods in Place Value Chart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A period refers to a group of three digits in the place value chart separated by a comma when a number is written in the standard form. Periods help in understanding the place values of the digits. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/place-value\/place-value\">Place value<\/a> is a numerical value that every digit in a number has based on its position. It can be extremely difficult to read big numbers without periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example: 1,643,752,648 is much easier to read and understand than 1643752648.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the International place-value system, there are four periods namely <strong>Ones, thousands, millions, and billions<\/strong> for the twelve places from right to left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the number 1,643,752,648, there are four periods. Each set with 3 digits makes 1 period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another visual example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"wj-table-class\"><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"3\"><strong>Billions<\/strong><\/td><td colspan=\"3\"><strong>MIllions<\/strong><\/td><td colspan=\"3\"><strong>Thousands<\/strong><\/td><td colspan=\"3\"><strong>Ones<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>HB<\/td><td>TB<\/td><td>B<\/td><td>HM<\/td><td>TM<\/td><td>M<\/td><td>HTh<\/td><td>TTh<\/td><td>Th<\/td><td>H<\/td><td>T<\/td><td>O<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><\/td><td><\/td><td>1<\/td><td>6<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>3<\/td><td>7<\/td><td>5<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>6<\/td><td>4<\/td><td>8<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeating or recurring decimals contain a digit or a group of digits that repeat endlessly and so, are called periodic.
