I need to calculate the period, I need help to verify my answer

I need to determine if $x(t) = 9\cos(2t) + 4\sin(\pi t)$ is periodic. If it is periodic I need to find the period. this what I have done \begin{align*} T_0 &= 2\pi/w\\ T_1 &= 2\pi/2 = \pi \\ ...

Fourier Series with Signals

So the question is: Determine the fourier series representations for the following signal: Here the formula for the fourier series $$C_k=\frac{1}{T}\int_T \! x(t)e^\frac{-j2\pi kt}{T} \, \mathrm{d} ...

Derivative of a random variable w.r.t. a deterministic variable

I'm reading about time series and I thought of this procedure: can you differentiate a function containing a random variable. For example: $f(t) = a t + b + \epsilon$ where $\epsilon \sim N(0,1)$. ...

Can it be proven that such functions don't exist?

We are given $x_1,x_2 \in \mathbb{R}$ and we want to find two functions $v_1(t),v_2(t)$ such that: $$x_1x_2 = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} v_1(t)-v_2(t) dt$$ A very interesting restriction that we have ...

Preserving the extrema of one function after applying another

Suppose we have some function $f(x)$ with local extrema at $x_1, x_2, \dots$, and a second function $g(x)$ which is continuous, strictly increasing and non-zero everywhere over the range of the $x_i$. ...
