How to get a period of cosinus function ?

Hi,
I have to find the period of the cosinus function using only the vector time and the vector data of the function.
Cosinus function
Vector data
time data

This looks like the sum of two cosines, not just one. Do you want the cosine with the largest magnitude? Are you allowed to use a Fourrier transform?

Yes, it is actually a sum of cosines by using this code :
function [t,x]=getSumOfCosines(delta_t,Tlim,f)
t=0:delta_t:Tlim;
x=sum(cos(2*pi*t.*f));
end
The only restriction is to not use any loop and to use only x and t vectors.

Because this is homework, I won't provide a copy-paste ready solution.
If you follow the example from the documentation for fft, you get the code below.
%recreate data
delta_t=0.1;Tlim=5;f=[1;2];
t=0:delta_t:Tlim;
x=sum(cos(2*pi*t.*f));
%figure(1),clf(1)
%plot(t,x)
Fs=1/mean(diff(t));%sampling frequency
L=numel(x);
Y = fft(x);
P2 = abs(Y/L);
P1 = P2(1:floor(L/2)+1);
f = Fs*(0:(L/2))/L;
figure(1),clf(1)
plot(f,P1,'-*')
title('Fourrier transform'),xlabel('frequency'),ylabel('magnitude')
Now you can clearly see there are two frequencies that have a high magnitude.

Frequency is the inverse of period.
