Fourier Cosine Series: Equivalence for {x}

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the Fourier cosine series correspondence for the function f(x) = x within the interval 0 < x < π. The correspondence is expressed as x ~ π/2 - 4/n ∑_(n=1)^∞ cos((2n-1)x)/(2n-1)². The participants seek to understand why this expression is an equality for 0 ≤ x ≤ π and how to properly formulate the series representation. The discussion highlights the need for clarity in mathematical notation and the importance of understanding series convergence in this context.

2. Fourier cosine series correspondence for f(x)= x, o < x < pi given by x ~ pi / 2 - 4/n, E infinity on top and n=1 on bottom. cos (an-1)/x / (2n-1)squared, (0 < x < pi).

Explain why this correspondence is actually an equality for 0 is less than or equal to x and x is less than or equal to pi. Then explain how we can write

{x} = pi /2 - 4 / n E infinity on top and n=1 on bottom

cos (2n - 1)x/ (2n-1) squared, (-n is less than or equal to x and x is less than or equal to pi)

Sorry, I forgot to mention in the original thread that I am totally lost and don't know where to start at with this problem.
 
Here is the above problem and I hope that its easier to read. I used some Mathematical symbols, so hope that you can understand it. Any questions, then please ask me if your unable to understand or read the problem.

Fourier cosine series correspondence for f (x) = x, o < x < Pie given by x ~ Pie / 2 – 4 / n

∑_(n=1)^∞▒cos⁡〖(2n-1)x/(2n-1)〗 〖^2〗,(o<x<Pie)

Explain why this correspondence is actually an equality for 0 ≤ x ≤ Pie. Then explain how we can write

[x] = Pie / 2 – 4 / n ∑_(n=1)^∞▒cos⁡〖(2n-1)x/(2n-1)〗 〖^2〗 ( -n ≤ x ≤ Pie)
