Periodic Function A function f is periodic if there is a positive number p, called a period of f, such that f(x+p) = f(x) for all x in the domain of f. The smallest period of a periodic function is called the fundamental period of the function.
Periodic Function, continued If a periodic function has a maximum value M and a minimum value m, then the amplitude A of the function is shown above.
Notice that a vertical stretching or shrinking affects the amplitude but not the period. Notice that a horizontal stretching or shrinking affects the period but not the amplitude.
