Can someone please help me with a Fourier series equation for a even square wave shown below:

F(t) = 0 when -2ms <t < -1ms
k when -1ms <t < 1ms
0 when 1ms <t < 2ms T=4

Im after finding the first 10 harmonic components. To be honest struggling with this one integration is not my strong point.

Show us some work and what integral you are stuck on.
 
Hello, sorry for the late reply. I believe I have succesfully found Ao in my equation but An I am struggling with. I have attached my workings out if you may take a look it would be much appreciated.

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
