Hi everybody, I have the signal x2(t)=|cos(10*pi*t)|.How can i calculate its period with matlab?I am new matlab so each help will be usefull

use autocorrelation. If your data is periodic you should get high correlation once the lag time matches the period. here is an example:
x=0:0.1:20*2*pi;
y=sin(x); % so we know the period is 2*pi roughly 6.28
ac=xcorr(y,y);
[~,locs]=findpeaks(ac);
mean(diff(locs)*0.1)
ans =
6.2842
In a more complex data set including some noise you need to work around the find peaks a little bit. That might be too noisy.
In the example you gave here is what you will get
x=0:0.01:20*2*pi;
y=abs(cos(10*pi*x));
ac=xcorr(y,y);
[~,locs]=findpeaks(ac);
mean(diff(locs)*0.01)
ans =
0.1000
Another approach is using FFT, particularly if you have a more complex signal.

Take the FFT of the signal, then compute the power spectrum. Then, determine the frequency index k of maximum power. After this, determine the frequency at index k of maximum power. Once you've found the frequency it's easy to find the period since T = 1/f, e.g.,
t = 0:0.004:4;
sig = cos(2*pi*20*t);
a = fft(sig, 1024);
A = abs(a).^2;
[~, index_max_power] = max(A);
index_freq = index_max_power / ((t(2)-t(1))*length(A));
period = 1/index_freq
So, in that example the period T should be closer to 0.05.

t=0:.01:10;
y=10*sin(10*pi*t);
[idx,idx]=findpeaks(y);
T=t(idx(2))-t(idx(1));
disp(['Time Period =' num2str(T),'seconds']);
