The function which are aperiodic are:-
A.Y=[x+1]
B.y=sinx2
C.y=sin2x
D.y=sin−1x
Solution
Hint: A aperiodic function never repeats itself. Time period of aperiodic function is 0 or dependent on the value of x. For aperiodic function, f(x+T)=f(x)
Complete step-by-step answer:
We have to find aperiodic functions, which implies the functions which are not periodic.
On substituting, x+1=t in first option, Y=[t], we get,
Y=[t]
And, we know that the greatest integer function is always periodic with a fixed time period of 1.
Next, substitute x2=t in y=sinx2 , we get,
y=sint
And sint is also periodic function with a fixed time period of 2π
Similarly y=sin2x is always a periodic function is periodic function with time-period of π
For the given function,y=sin−1x we can check its periodicity by trying to find the period.
Let us assume the Tbe the time period of y=sin−1x.
Thus, sin−1(x+T)=sin−1x
On further solving the equation sin−1(x+T)=sin−1x, we get
sin−1(x+T)−sin−1x=0 ⇒sin−1((x+T)1−x2−x1−(x+T)2)=0 ⇒(x+T)1−x2−x1−(x+T)2=0 ⇒(x+T)1−x2=x1−(x+T)2 ⇒(x+T)2(1−x2)=x2(1−(x+T)2) ⇒(x+T)2+x2(x+T)2=x2+x2(x+T)2 ⇒(x+T)2=x2 ⇒x2+2xT+T2=x2 ⇒T2+2xT=0 ⇒T(T+2x)=0 ⇒T=0,−2x
Since the time period of the function y=sin−1x is either 0 or is dependent on x. No fixed time period is therefore possible for the time period y=sin−1x.
Thus option D is the correct answer.
Note: For the equation sin−1x=0, the value of xwill be zero, as the sin−1 is defined on the principal range of −2πto 2π. Thus the only possible solution for the equation sin−1x=0 is the x=0.
