Functions Question 451

Question: If $ f(x) $ and $ g(x) $ are periodic functions with periods 7 and 11, respectively, then the period of $ F(x)=f(x)g( \frac{x}{5} )-g(x)f( \frac{x}{3} ) $ is

Options:

A) 177

B) 222

C) 433

D) 1155

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] The period of $ f(x) $ is 7. So, the period of $ f( \frac{x}{3} ) $ is $ \frac{7}{1/3}=21. $ The period of g(x) is 11. So, the period of $ g( \frac{x}{5} )=7\times 55=385 $ is $ \frac{11}{1/5}=55 $ . Hence, $ T_1= $ period of $ f(x),g,( \frac{x}{5} )=7\times 55=385 $ and $ T_2= $ period of $ g(x)f( \frac{x}{3} )=11\times 21=231 $

$ \therefore $ Period of $ F(x)=LCM{T_1,T_2} $
