(b)

sin(kx) cos(nx)dx = 0. 0 , k = n , k = n = 0 . cos(kx) cos(nx)dx = 2 , k = n = 0

2. For each of the following functions, nd the N th Fourier polynomial, assuming them to be periodic with period 2 . Use symbolic algebra software to graph the rst three approximations together with the original function. (a) f (x) = ex (b) f (x) = , < x

x , < x 0 . 1 , 0<x

3. Find the Fourier series for the function f(x) having period 2 , one period of which is given by 1 ,0 x < f (x) = x , x < 2 .

 0 , x < 2 1 , 2 x < 2 . 4. Let f (x) = 2 0 , 2x< (a) What percent of the energy of f is contained in the constant term of its Fourier series? (b) Find a formula for the energy of the k th harmonic of f . What percentage of the energy of f is contained in the rst three non-zero terms of its Fourier series? (c) Find Fn , the nth Fourier polynomial of f , and use symbolic algebra software to graph f and F3 on the interval [3, 3 ]. 5. Find the Fourier series for the function f (x) (of period 6) which corresponds to y = x2 9 on the interval [3, 3). 6. Find two Fourier expansions for the restriction of the function f (x) = sin x to the interval [0, ]. In one expansion all sine terms should have zero coecient, in the other all cosine terms should have zero coecient.
