Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around problems related to Fourier series, specifically focusing on finding Fourier sine and cosine series for given functions over specified intervals. The original poster presents three distinct problems involving the functions \( f(x) = x^2 \) and \( f(x) = x + 1 \), as well as \( f(x) = e^x \), and seeks assistance in solving them.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants question the appropriateness of using sine series for \( f(x) = x^2 \), noting that it is an even function and may not yield non-zero sine coefficients. Others inquire about the specific requirements of the problems and express uncertainty regarding the interpretation of the questions.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided hints and raised questions that guide the original poster to reconsider the nature of the functions involved. There is an ongoing exploration of the implications of using sine versus cosine series, particularly in relation to the properties of the functions presented.

Contextual Notes

The original poster mentions that the problems are important for exams, indicating a potential pressure to understand the material thoroughly. There is also a lack of explicit instructions from the teacher regarding the methods to be used for solving the problems.

HEllo ,
Plz help me in solving these problems regarding Fourier Series:


1):Find Fourier Sine Series for f(x)=x^2 -Π(pie)<x<Π(pie)
and deduce Π^2/12=1-1/4+1/9-1/16 +-------------------

Π indicates PIE

2):With the help of Fourier Sine series and Fourier Cosine series
f(x)=x+1 0<x<Π(pie)
Deduce 1-1/3+1/5-1/7 --------------------- = Π(pie)/4
and 1+1/(3^2)+1/(5^2)+1/(7^2)--------= Π^2/8

3);Find the Fourier Sine series for function f(x) =e^x 0<x<Π(pie)

Even the genius guys aren't going to do your homework for you. What have you done on this and where do you have a problem?
 
what the hell does Π mean??!? (kidding)

1: are you sure the problem wants you to develop as a series of sine and not sosines?
 
i have solved question 3 but please please tell me the hints how to solve question 1 and question 2
 
The reason quasar987 asked if you are sure that a sine series is wanted rather than cosine is because x2 is a even function while sine functions are all odd and any function represented as a sine series between -[itex]\pi[/itex] and [itex]\pi[/itex] will be odd. You should find that the "sine" coefficients are all 0.
 
Well HallsofIvy my teacher gave me these 3 questions to solve and they did'nt tell anything regarding these questions and also told srudents that these questions are very important from EXAM's POINT Of VIEW. Plz please solve this .
 
U guys r really genius & gr8. Well i consulted with my class fellow and they told me that tha real question is
1):Find Fourier Series for f(x)=x^2 -Π(pie)<x<Π(pie)
and deduce Π^2/12=1-1/4+1/9-1/16 +-------------------

Π indicates PIE

2):With the help of Fourier SIne series
and Fourier Cosine series
f(x)=x+1 0<x<Π(pie)
Deduce 1-1/3+1/5-1/7 --------------------- = Π(pie)/4
and 1+1/(3^2)+1/(5^2)+1/(7^2)--------= Π^2/8

3);Find the Fourier Sine series for function f(x) =e^x 0<x<Π(pie)
