Math 1005 H Fall 2015

Tutorial 7
1. Let f (x) = 4 − 3x for 1 ≤ x < 2 and f (x + 1) = f (x) for all x. Find the Fourier
series of f .

2. Let  
1 + 2x if 0 ≤ x < 1,
f (x) = ,
3 − 2x if 1 ≤ x < 2
and f (x + 2) = f (x) for all x. What does the Fourier series for f converge to at

(a) x = 3?
(b) x = 3.5?
(c) x = 4?

3. Let  
2x if 0 ≤ x < 1,
f (x) = .
2 if 1 ≤ x < 2
Find the Fourier sine series of f .

4. Let  
x2 if 0 ≤ x < 1,
f (x) = .
5 − 3x if 1 ≤ x < 2
What does the Fourier sine series of f converge to at x = 5? What about at
x = 6? At x = 7?

Additional examples if there is extra time

5. Find the Fourier series for the “triangle wave”

 
1 + x if −1 ≤ x < 0,
f (x) = ,
1 − x if 0≤x<1

f (x + 2) = f (x) for all x.

6. Find the Fourier series for the “square wave”

 
−1 if −2 ≤ x < 0,
f (x) = ,
1 if 0≤x<2

f (x + 4) = f (x) for all x.
