Plot the graph and if the signal is periodic, what is the fundamental?

SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on plotting graphs using MATLAB to determine the periodicity of functions. The user successfully plotted two functions: one involving logical operations and another combining cosine and sine functions. The conclusion drawn is that the first function is not periodic, while the second function is periodic with an approximate period of 0.7, as indicated by the MATLAB output.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of MATLAB syntax and plotting functions
  • Knowledge of periodic functions and their characteristics
  • Familiarity with trigonometric functions, specifically cosine and sine
  • Ability to interpret graphical outputs in MATLAB
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to use MATLAB's 'axis' function for better graph scaling
  • Explore MATLAB's 'fft' function for analyzing periodicity in signals
  • Study the properties of periodic functions in detail
  • Investigate how to declare time vectors and unit steps in MATLAB
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and professionals in engineering or mathematics who are working with MATLAB for signal processing and graph analysis will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement
I am solving a work of signs and systems and asked me to find in the equations below the graph and the fundamental period

And in question 2 asks to plot the graph of the signs and also the convolution.
Relevant Equations
a)
x(t) = u(t-3)+u(1-t)

b) x(t) = 10cos(100t)-2sen(100t)

c) x[n] = 1- e^j4pin/7 + e^ j2pin/5

d) x[n] = (1/2)^n u[n-3]

2)
a) x[n] = (1/3)^n u[-n-1]
h[n] = u[n-1]

b) x(t) = e^2t u(-t)
h(t) = u(t-3)
I do not know how to declare time t and unit steps.

I can solve 1a and 1b, but I could not figure out if a function is periodic or not.
Both were like this ...

a)
t = (-10:0.01:10);
x1 = t>=3;
x2 = t<1;
xtot=x1+x2;
plot(t,xtot)
axis ([-10,10,0,1.2])

b)
t = (-0.5:0.001:0.5)';
x1 = 10*cos(100*t);
x2 = 2*sin(100*t);
xtot=x1-x2;
plot(t,xtot)
axis ([-0.5,0.5,-11,11])
 
Is the cosine function periodic? What is its period?

Yes, I completed question number 1.
The letter A is not periodic and B is!
Your approximate period by the graph that MatLab gave me is something around 0.7.
