The period is =2/9pi=29π and the amplitude is =1=1

Explanation:

The period TT of a periodic function f(x)f(x) is such that

f(x)=f(x+T)f(x)=f(x+T)

Here,

f(x)=cos9xf(x)=cos9x

Therefore,

f(x+T)=cos9(x+T)f(x+T)=cos9(x+T)

=cos(9x+9T)=cos(9x+9T)

=cos9xcos9T+sin9xsin9T=cos9xcos9T+sin9xsin9T

Comparing f(x)f(x) and f(x+T)f(x+T)

{(cos9T=1),(sin9tT=0):}

=>, 9T=2pi

=>, T=(2pi)/9

The amplitude is =1 as
