The period of `cosx^2` is

Answer» A function is periodic if `f(x) = f(x+T)`.
Let us assume that `cos(x^2)` has a period of T. In that case:
`cos(x+T)^2 = cosx^2`
`=>(x+T)^2 = 2npi+x^2`
`=>x^2+T^2+2xT= 2npi+x^2`
`=>T^2+2xT-2npi = 0`
As we can see, `T` is dependent on the value of `x` and hence, is not a constant. So `cos(x^2)` is not periodic.
So, we can say that period of `cosx^2` does not exist.
