Please find Fourier Series problem?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the Fourier series for a given function f(x) defined on the interval (-L, L) when it is shifted to an arbitrary interval (a, b). Participants emphasize the importance of understanding whether f(x) is even or odd to decide between cosine or sine series. There is confusion regarding how to properly shift the function and apply the Fourier series in the new interval. One participant suggests writing the Fourier sum explicitly and considering the implications of the shift. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on the relationship between the intervals and the function's behavior during the transformation.

Plz find urgent ::Fourier Series problem?
given function on (-L,L)
If f(x) is even(cosine series) ,odd(sine series) ,either(Fourier series)
what f is given on arbitrary interval(a,b) ?

hey chemical.ojas, don't really follow your question, also you shoukld try and attempt a solution and show your working
 


hey lanedance
f(x) is given function its present on (-L,L)
If f(x) is shifted to arbitrary interval (a,b) then what will be the Fourier series.?
then i want cosine and sine series also.

i tried by considering standard Fourier series...but I have no Idea about how to shift the interval?
i have one hint
a intigral b f(x)=area/b-a = average
but i have no idea how to use this hint.I tried a lot on this.
 


so what does it mean to shift f(x) from (-L,L) to (a,b)

does b-a = 2L or is the function stretched/compressed to fit in (a,b)?

either way, to start, I would write you Fourier sum explictly and apply the shift and have a think about what it tells you...
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
