Solving the Expanded Cosine Series of y=sin(x) in (0,180)

[prasanaharani]

expand the function y=sinx in a series of cosines in the interval (0 to 180)
i want to know only the value of f(x) for solving this.what is the value of
f(x).

I suggest you post the entire problem, exactly as it was given to you. Next, show us your attempts at a solution, and where you've gotten stuck.

to solve this problem first we need to know the value of An and A0
ie the series is A0/2+SUMATION n=1 to infinity (An cosnx)where An is given by An=2/pie integral of -pie to +pie f(x)cosnx dx
now what is the value of f(x) to substitute in that place to solve it.pls tell me.

f(x) = \sin(x)?
Why do you have two names (y and f(x) for the same thing?)
At least, that's what you said in your first (two) post(s).

cos(nx) is an even function. So you have to even extend the functionf(x) = \sin(x) first.
It will be a periodic function of period 2L = \pi.
Then the coefficient
a_n = \frac{2}{\pi/2} \int{\sin(x)\cos(2nx) dx}
integrate from 0 to \frac{\pi}{2}
which simplify to
a_n = -\frac{2}{\pi (4n^2-1)}

The Fourier series is then
\sin(x) = \frac{2}{\pi} -\frac{4}{\pi}(\frac{\cos(2x)}{1.3} + \frac{\cos(4x)}{3.5} + . . . )
