Homework Statement
Given the following periodic signal:
What is the Fourier coefficient b1.
I'm not asking for help with the Fourier series. I feel my integration is solid.
What I need help with is creating the correct function!
The Attempt at a Solution
I first declare t=5 as now to be t=0, and T=6 becomes t=2, etc. Am I allowed to do this? It also seems a bit iffy because the period starts at t=4...
f(t) =
1, 0<t<1
t, 1<t<2
This gives me, as far as I can tell, the correct values for 0<t<2, compared to the graph.
Unsure about the "t" function there...
I am doubting whether this is correct, me and a friend have done the series 4-5 times now using this function, and we get the wrong answer, so we think the function we wrote is wrong.
Can somebody help me make sense of this?
