What is the period of the function?

Consider the following for the next two (02) items that follow: A function is defined by f(x)=\pi+\sin^{2}x.

  1. A. 2\pi
  2. B. \pi
  3. C. \frac{\pi}{2}
  4. D. The function is non-periodic

Correct Answer: B. \pi

Explanation

The constant \pi does not change the period of the function. Using the half-angle identity, \sin^2 x = \frac{1 - \cos 2x}{2}. The period is determined by \cos 2x, whose fundamental period is \frac{2\pi}{2} = \pi.
