So, I've been asked to show that
f(x)=Ʃn=0 [ansin(nπx/a) + bncos(nπx/a)

is equivalent to f(x)=Ʃn=-∞ cneinx/a



I'm kinda stuck. i want to turn this into the exponential form but I don't see how to condense this into a single term.



Thanks!

Nevermind, Solved

Use the substitution that sinu = 0.5i (e^iu -e^-iu) and the equivalent for cosine and shift the register of the summation.
