1. how do i find the period of summation of some function ie: 2^-k or cos(pi k) multiplied by some complex exponential ei7kt

ie: f( t ) = \sum
2-kei7kt
2. does anyone know the formula for finding the period of summations of complex exponentials? note this is for fourier
3. would i say that omega is 7k by Euler's method. if i converted to sines and cosines, thus the period T = 2pi/7?
is this how i would find the period of this summation?

The definition of periodicity is as follows:
If T is the period of a function f(t) then,
f(t+ T) = f(t).

Does your answer admit to this definition ?

What is his reasoning ?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
