Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding the Fourier sine series for the function f(x) = 1 over the interval 0 < x < c, where c > 0. Participants also explore the Fourier series for a piecewise function g(x) defined on different intervals. The conversation includes expressions of confusion regarding the problem and clarifications about mathematical notation.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents the Fourier sine series for f(x) = 1 over the interval 0 < x < π, stating it as 1 = 4/n Σ (1/(2n-1)) sin((2n-1)x).
  • Another participant expresses confusion about the problem and requests a step-by-step explanation.
  • There is a correction regarding the spelling of "π," with participants clarifying the difference between "pie" and "pi" in mathematical contexts.
  • One participant acknowledges the error in the original problem statement and thanks others for the clarification.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for clarification regarding the mathematical notation and the problem statement. However, there is no consensus on how to approach the Fourier series problem itself, as confusion remains among some participants.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about the mathematical symbols and notation used in the problem, indicating a potential limitation in understanding the problem's requirements.

3. Fourier sin series for f(x) = 1, 0 < x < pi is given by 1 = 4/n E 1/ (2n-1) times sin (2n-1) x, (0 < x < n).

Using this, find the Fourier sinc series for f(x)= 1, on 0 < x < c where c > 0. Then find the Fourier series for g(x), x > 0 where g(x) = 1, 0 < x < c, -1, c < x < 2c, g (x + 2c) = g(x), g (nc) = 0, n = 1, 2, 3, ...

Finally, sketch the graph of g(x), x > 0. Be sure to justify convergence is the F series to g(x) at every x > 0.

Sorry, I forgot to mention in the original thread of this posting that I am totally lost and confused with this problem. I don't understand it and am not sure exactly how to work out this problem or where to start at. Can someone please help me step-by-step with this problem?
 
I thought maybe it might help to at least use some mathematical symbols in this problem than none at all. Here is the problem again as follows and I hope that its easier to read:

Fourier sin series for f (x) = 1, 0 < x < Pie, is given by

1 = 4 / n $$$$ 1/ (2n-1), sin (2n-1)x, (0 < x < Pie)

Using this, find the Fourier sin series for f (x) = 1 on 0 < x < Pie, where c > 0. Then find
Fourier sin series for f (x) = 1, 0 < x < Pie, is given by

1 = 4 / n $$$$ 1/ (2n-1), sin (2n-1)x, (0 < x < Pie), where c > 0. Then find the Fourier series for g (x), x > 0, where g (x) =

1, 0 < x < c

-1 c < x < 2c , g (x + 2c) = g (x),

g (nc) = 0, n = 1, 2, 3, …

Finally, sketch the graph of g (x), x >0

Be sure to justify convergence is the F series to g (x) at every x > 0.

Please explain this on what your trying to say! I thought that since I wasn't able to find the mathematical symbol under Microsoft Word, then I would spell it out. Isn't the word spelled correctly for math when using the following:

Pie (∏)?

What is the difference between pie and pi in math?

Pie you eat and pi is an irrational number.

To achieve \(\pi\) type
Latex Code:

\(\pi\)

Also in the notes section you will find a whole pdf on Fourier Series.

Thanks for answering my question (s) and letting me know this information. What I typed was questions that my instructor gave me so the wording of the questions he is asking me to do is an error on his part. I will correct that for next time. Thank you again!
