Consider the function f(x)=x2+x+2
 defined in the interval [−3π,3π]
 and extend it as a periodic function with period 6π
.

Compute its complex Fourier series:

To compute the complex Fourier series of the function \( f(x) = x^2 + x + 2 \) defined on the interval \([-3\pi, 3\pi]\) and extended periodically with period \(6\pi\), we first find the coefficients of the series.

The complex Fourier series is given by:

\[
F(x) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} c_n e^{i n \frac{\pi}{3} x}
\]

where the coefficients \(c_n\) are defined as:

\[
c_n = \frac{1}{T} \int_{-T/2}^{T/2} f(x) e^{-i n \omega_0 x} \, dx
\]

Here, \(T = 6\pi\) and \(\omega_0 = \frac{2\pi}{T} = \frac{1}{3}\).

### Step 1: Compute the coefficients \(c_n\)

Calculating \(c_n\):

\[
c_n = \frac{1}{6\pi} \int_{-3\pi}^{3\pi} (x^2 + x + 2) e^{-i n \frac{x}{3}} \, dx
\]

### Step 2: Split the integral

We can split the integral into three parts:

\[
c_n = \frac{1}{6\pi} \left( \int_{-3\pi}^{3\pi} x^2 e^{-i n \frac{x}{3}} \, dx + \int_{-3\pi}^{3\pi} x e^{-i n \frac{x}{3}} \, dx + 2 \int_{-3\pi}^{3\pi} e^{-i n \frac{x}{3}} \, dx \right)
\]

### Step 3: Evaluate each integral

1. **Integral of \(x^2 e^{-i n \frac{x}{3}}\)**: This requires integration by parts or can be looked up.
2. **Integral of \(x e^{-i n \frac{x}{3}}\)**: Similarly, this can be computed via integration by parts.
3. **Integral of \(e^{-i n \frac{x}{3}}\)**: This integral can be computed directly.

### Final Form

Once you compute these integrals, substitute them back into the formula for \(c_n\). The resulting Fourier series will be:

\[
F(x) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty} c_n e^{i n \frac{x}{3}}
\]
