I have a function $$cx(x-l)$$ where c is constant

I want to expansion this function $$cx(x-l)$$ to $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{n}e^{-\alpha x}$$

how can i do it? you have a idea

Is there perhaps a typo in the summand? The exponential does not seem to depend on $n$ and it is not clear to me what $\alpha$ is.

$$cx(x-l)$$ to $$\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}a_{n}e^{-\alpha_{n} x}$$ $\alpha$ is constant any constant

That looks like a Fourier series transform.

We have:
$$cx(x-1) = c\left(\frac{\pi^2}3 + (-2-i)e^{-ix} - (2-i)e^{ix} + ...\right)$$
