Find the period of the following functions $f(x) = |\sin x| + |\cos x|$
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
$f(x) = |\sin x| + |\cos x|$
Period of both $|\sin x|$ and $|\cos x|$ is π.
So, we can consider period of f(x) to be π.
But $f(\frac{π}{2}+x)=\left|\sin(\frac{π}{2}+x)\right|+\left|\cos(\frac{π}{2}+x)\right|$
$= |\cos x| + |-\sin x|$
$= |\cos x| +| \sin x|$
= f(x)
So, period of f(x) is π/2.
