hello guys ..
first of all , iam not sure that i should type this thread here . so excuse me for that

in this problem i can understand the part untill it's said that w=0 then x(t)=1, which is periodic for any value of T
but i can't understand the part after that in the case of w is not equal to zero
so help me with this please :)
Thx guys

Perhaps Euler's formula will be of help:
$$e^{i \omega_0 T} = \cos(\omega_0 T) + i \sin (\omega_0 T)$$

okay , i know Euler's formula but i can't understand " wt=m*2*pi " or "T=m*(2pi/w) m=positive integer"

how did this part was given ??

You want $e^{i \omega_0 T} = \cos(\omega_0 T) + i \sin (\omega_0 T) = 1$, meaning that $\cos(\omega_0 T)=1$ and $\sin (\omega_0 T)=0$. What are the values of $\omega_0 T$ for which these equalities hold?

omg , now i understand , we need cos(wT) to be always 1 , so cos (2*pi) and (4*pi) and so on , yaaaayyyyy :D
Thx man for help :)
