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

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the periodicity of functions plotted using MATLAB. The user successfully solved parts 1a and 1b but struggled with identifying whether the functions are periodic. It was concluded that the function in part A is not periodic, while the function in part B is periodic. The approximate period of the periodic function, as derived from the graph, is around 0.7. Understanding how to declare time and unit steps in MATLAB was also a point of confusion.

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.
