Help Me.... for fourier series

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What;s the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the fourier series for the periodic function \(f \left( x \right) = x + \pi \) with interval \(-\pi < x < 0\) \(f \left( x \right) = -x \) with interval \(0 < x < \pi\)

OpenStudy (jack1):

do you know what I mean by the terms: a 0 a n b n ...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess..., of course.,

OpenStudy (jack1):

so what is your value for a 0?

OpenStudy (jack1):

do you need a hand to find a 0?

OpenStudy (jack1):

@gerryliyana you still around dude?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i'm still here.., i need to find a0, a1...b1....and till get fourier series..,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you looking for the exponential Fourier Series or the Trigonometric? I see a0,a1,..,b1,... , so I suppose you are looking for the Trigonometric

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes..., i'm looking for that..,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are going to use the formulas for the a's and b's and break each integral in two parts. One integral from -π to 0 plus one integral from 0 to π. Then you will replace f(x) with its value in each integral. In the first it would be x+π, in the second it will be -x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess.., i've done that..,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i got wrong answer.., :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi Please find attached .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This should help to get a picture .. Can u proceed furthur bcoz its a long time i had studied fourier series :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=\begin{cases}x+\pi&\text{for }-\pi<x<0\\-x&\text{for }0<x<\pi\end{cases}\\ f(x) \sim a_0+\sum_{n=1}^\infty (a_n\cos(nx)+b_n\sin(nx))\] \[\begin{align*}a_0&=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi}f(x)~dx\\ &=\frac{1}{2\pi}\bigg[\int_{-\pi}^0(x+\pi)~dx+\int_0^\pi(-x)~dx\bigg]\\\\\\\\\\ a_n&=\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x)~\cos(nx)~dx\\ &=\frac{1}{\pi}\bigg[\int_{-\pi}^0(x+\pi)\cos(nx)~dx+\int_0^\pi(-x)\cos(nx)~dx\bigg]\\\\\\\\\\ b_n&=\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi}^\pi f(x)~\sin(nx)~dx\\ &=\frac{1}{\pi}\bigg[\int_{-\pi}^0(x+\pi)\sin(nx)~dx+\int_0^\pi(-x)\cos(nx)~dx\bigg]\\\\\\\\\\ \end{align*}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Anu2401, are you saying that \(a_0=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\)? \[\int_{-\pi}^0f(x)~dx=-\int_0^\pi f(x)~dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SithsAndGiggles :I guess there is some mistake in a0 . It should be 0. Thanks for pointing out Actually in place of 0 it should be -pi becoz in general a0= Average value of the peak to peak at origin. @gerryliyana Please have a look . & update .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SithsAndGiggles Yes i am also saying that a0=0 How : [pi(Peak from -π to 0)+(-pi) (Peak from 0 to π]/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SithsAndGiggles In 95% of cases the average value @origin is a0 . U can deduce a0 by just looking at the graph, no integration is required .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Anu2401, oh I thought you were talking about \(a_0\) previously. By the way, I was under the impression that \(a_0\) \(is\) the average value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got \[f(x) = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \pi + a_{1} \cos x + a_{2} \cos 2x + a_{3} \cos 3x .....+ b_{1} \sin x \] \[= \frac{ \pi }{ 2 } + \frac{ 4 }{ \pi } \left( \cos x + \frac{ \cos 3x }{ 9 } + \frac{ \cos 5x }{ 25 } + \frac{ \cos 3x }{ 49 }\right)\] \[+ 2 \left( \frac{ \sin 2x }{ 2 } + \frac{ \sin 4x }{ 4 } + \frac{ \sin 6x }{ 6 } + ...\right)\] \[-4 \left( \sin x + \frac{ \sin 3x }{ 3 } + \frac{ \sin 5x }{ 25 } + \frac{ \sin 7x }{ 7 } + .....\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about you guys ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@oldrin.bataku

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@gerryliyana, \(a_0\) should be 0. For \(a_n\) and \(b_n\), I get \[\begin{align*}a_n&=\frac{1}{\pi}\left(\frac{1-\cos(n\pi)}{n^2}-\frac{n\pi \sin(n\pi)+\cos(n\pi)-1}{n^2}\right)\\ &=\frac{1}{\pi}\left(\frac{2-2\cos(n\pi)-n\pi \sin(n\pi)}{n^2}\right)\\\\\\\\ b_n&=\frac{1}{\pi}\left(\frac{\sin(n\pi)-n\pi}{n^2}-\frac{n\pi\cos(n\pi)-\sin(n\pi)}{n^2}\right)\\ &=\frac{1}{\pi}\left(\frac{2\sin(n\pi)-n\pi-n\pi\cos(n\pi)}{n^2}\right) \end{align*}\] So cosine and sine series that I get are, respectively, \[\color{red}{\frac{1}{\pi}\sum_{n=1}^\infty\left(\frac{2-2\cos(n\pi)-n\pi \sin(n\pi)}{n^2}\right)\cos(nx)}\] \[\color{blue}{\frac{1}{\pi}\sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(\frac{2\sin(n\pi)-n\pi-n\pi\cos(n\pi)}{n^2}\right)\sin(nx)}\] Splitting up the sums for odd and even \(n\): \[\color{red}{\frac{1}{\pi}\sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(\frac{2-2\cos(n\pi)-n\pi \sin(n\pi)}{n^2}\right)\cos(nx)}\\ =\frac{1}{\pi}\sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(\frac{2-2(-1)^n}{n^2}\right)\cos(nx)\\ =\frac{1}{\pi}\Bigg[\sum_{k=1}^\infty \left(\frac{2-2(-1)^{2k}}{(2k)^2}\right)\cos(2kx)+\sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(\frac{2-2(-1)^{2k+1}}{(2k+1)^2}\right)\cos((2k+1)x)\Bigg]\\ =\frac{1}{\pi}\Bigg[\sum_{k=1}^\infty \left(\frac{2-2}{(2k)^2}\right)\cos(2kx)+\sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(\frac{2-2(-1)}{(2k+1)^2}\right)\cos((2k+1)x)\Bigg]\\ =\frac{4}{\pi}\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{1}{(2k+1)^2}\cos((2k+1)x)\\ =\frac{4}{\pi}\left(\cos x+\frac{\cos(3x)}{9}+\frac{\cos(5x)}{25}\cdots\right)\] \[\color{blue}{\frac{1}{\pi}\sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(\frac{2\sin(n\pi)-n\pi-n\pi\cos(n\pi)}{n^2}\right)\sin(nx)}\\ =\frac{1}{\pi}\sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(\frac{-n\pi-n\pi(-1)^n}{n^2}\right)\sin(nx)\\ =-\sum_{n=1}^\infty \left(\frac{1+(-1)^n}{n}\right)\sin(nx)\\ =-\Bigg[\sum_{k=1}^\infty \left(\frac{1+(-1)^{2k}}{2k}\right)\sin(2kx)+\sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(\frac{1+(-1)^{2k+1}}{2k+1}\right)\sin((2k+1)x)\Bigg]\\ =-\Bigg[\sum_{k=1}^\infty \left(\frac{1+1}{2k}\right)\sin(2kx)+\sum_{k=0}^\infty \left(\frac{1-1}{2k+1}\right)\sin((2k+1)x)\Bigg]\\ =-\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k}\sin(2kx)\\ =-\left(\sin(2x)+\frac{\sin(4x)}{2}+\frac{\sin(6x)}{3}+\cdots\right)\] So, \[f(x)\sim \frac{4}{\pi}\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{1}{(2k+1)^2}\cos((2k+1)x)-\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k}\sin(2kx)\] Checking with WA, I've clearly made some mistake along the way... I think you're right about retaining the odd sine series, but for some reason mine disappears.
