Math Problem Statement
Decompose the given functions using the Fourier series formula:
1. f(x) in the interval [-π, π]:
f(x) = 8 for x ∈ [-π, 0], and f(x) = -8 for x ∈ [0, π].
2. g(x) in the interval [-1, 1]:
g(x) = 0 for x ∈ [-1, 0], and g(x) = x(1-x) for x ∈ [0, 1].
Solution
The image contains two Fourier series problems requiring decomposition of given functions using the Fourier series formulas. Let me solve them step-by-step.
Problem 1: Fourier Series of in
The given function: [ f(x) = \begin{cases} 8, & x \in [-\pi, 0], \ -8, & x \in [0, \pi]. \end{cases} ]
The Fourier series formula is: with coefficients:
a_n = \frac{1}{L} \int_{-L}^L f(x) \cos\frac{n\pi x}{L} dx, \quad b_n = \frac{1}{L} \int_{-L}^L f(x) \sin\frac{n\pi x}{L} dx.$$ Here, $$L = \pi$$. #### **Step 1: Compute $$a_0$$** $$a_0 = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x) dx.$$ Split into two intervals: $$a_0 = \frac{1}{\pi} \left[\int_{-\pi}^0 8 dx + \int_{0}^\pi (-8) dx\right].$$ Evaluate: $$\int_{-\pi}^0 8 dx = 8x \big|_{-\pi}^0 = 8(0 - (-\pi)) = 8\pi,$$ $$\int_{0}^\pi (-8) dx = -8x \big|_{0}^\pi = -8(\pi - 0) = -8\pi.$$ Thus: $$a_0 = \frac{1}{\pi} (8\pi - 8\pi) = 0.$$ #### **Step 2: Compute $$a_n$$** $$a_n = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x) \cos(nx) dx.$$ Split into intervals: $$a_n = \frac{1}{\pi} \left[\int_{-\pi}^0 8 \cos(nx) dx + \int_{0}^\pi (-8) \cos(nx) dx\right].$$ For the first term: \[ \int_{-\pi}^0 8 \cos(nx) dx = 8 \left[\frac{\sin(nx)}{n}\right]_{-\pi}^0 = \frac{8}{n} \left[\sin(0) - \sin(-n\pi)\right] = \frac{8}{n} (0 - 0) = 0. \] For the second term: \[ \int_{0}^\pi (-8) \cos(nx) dx = -8 \left[\frac{\sin(nx)}{n}\right]_0^\pi = \frac{-8}{n} \left[\sin(n\pi) - \sin(0)\right] = \frac{-8}{n} (0 - 0) = 0. \] Thus: $$a_n = 0 \quad \text{for all } n.$$ #### **Step 3: Compute $$b_n$$** $$b_n = \frac{1}{\pi} \int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x) \sin(nx) dx.$$ Split into intervals: $$b_n = \frac{1}{\pi} \left[\int_{-\pi}^0 8 \sin(nx) dx + \int_{0}^\pi (-8) \sin(nx) dx\right].$$ For the first term: \[ \int_{-\pi}^0 8 \sin(nx) dx = 8 \left[-\frac{\cos(nx)}{n}\right]_{-\pi}^0 = \frac{-8}{n} \left[\cos(0) - \cos(-n\pi)\right] = \frac{-8}{n} [1 - (-1)^n]. \] For the second term: \[ \int_{0}^\pi (-8) \sin(nx) dx = -8 \left[-\frac{\cos(nx)}{n}\right]_0^\pi = \frac{-8}{n} \left[\cos(n\pi) - \cos(0)\right] = \frac{-8}{n} [(-1)^n - 1]. \] Combine the results: \[ b_n = \frac{-8}{n\pi} \left[(1 - (-1)^n) + ((-1)^n - 1)\right] = \frac{-8}{n\pi} [0]. \] Thus: $$b_n = \frac{16}{n\pi}, \quad \text{for odd $$n$$}.$$ #### Final Fourier series for $$f(x)$$: $$f(x) = \sum_{n=1, n\,\text{odd}}^\infty \frac{16}{n\pi} \sin(nx).$$ --- ### **Problem 2: Fourier Series of $$g(x)$$ in $$[-1, 1]$$** The function is: \[ g(x) = \begin{cases} 0, & x \in [-1, 0], \\ x(1 - x), & x \in [0, 1]. \end{cases} \] Here, $$L = 1$$, and we compute $$a_0$$, $$a_n$$, and $$b_n$$.
