[SOLVED] period and cycle of a function...is the same thing, no?

it essentially is right?


but can be further defined as

a)cycle...-can start at any x point

b)period...-the unit measure of the cycle



correct?

 

[Gib Z]

One cycle refers to a specific period starting from one specific point on the function. A period is the long each cycle is. So yes you were pretty much right.

"the long each cycle is"??

(I myself nefer make typos!)
