What is the period of (f(x)=\cos x+\cos 2x)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (2\pi)

The period of \\(\\cos x\\) is \\(2\\pi\\), because its values repeat after an increase of \\(2\\pi\\). For \\(\\cos 2x\\), the period is \\(\\pi\\), since increasing \\(x\\) by \\(\\pi\\) increases its angle by \\(2\\pi\\). The sum can repeat only at a common period of both terms.

Although \\(\\pi\\) is a period of \\(\\cos 2x\\), it is not a period of \\(\\cos x\\). The common fundamental period is therefore \\(2\\pi\\). Indeed, replacing \\(x\\) by \\(x+2\\pi\\) leaves both cosine terms unchanged. Hence option B is correct, not option C.
