Hello, I'm having some trouble completing a Fourier series question.
We have f(x)=Cos(x), for abs(x)≤π/2
f(x)=0, for π/2≤abs(x)≤π
period=2π
and then show that the Fourier series f(x) reads

now I can get the 1/π and the sum, as an=

and working through from there, the only part I'm having trouble with is the origin of the half cos(x) term. As far as I'm able to apply the Fourier series I don't see where it comes from. (Bn must equal 0 right?)
