Given algebraic proofs forodd and even functions:

  1. even times = even; odd times odd = even; even times odd = odd;
  2. the derivative of an even function is odd; the derivative of an odd function is even.

Short Answer

Expert verified

By using the oddness or evenness of the function to prove the results and also use the definition of the derivative as a limit of a difference.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of odd and even function

Even functionsand odd functionsare functions which satisfy particular harmony relations, with respect to taking cumulative inverses.

However, if end up with the exact same function that started with (that is if f(-x)=f(x) so all of the signs are the same). However, If end up with the exact contrary of what started with (that is. if f(-x)=-f(x), so all of the signs are switched)

02

Given parameters

The given odd and even functions are

  1. even times = even; odd times odd = even, even times odd = odd
  2. the derivative of an even function is odd; the derivative of an odd function is even.
03

Take the cases of odd and even function

Let h(x) = f(x)g(x).

If f and g are both even then:

h(-x) = f(-x)g(-x)

=f(x)g(x)

=h(x)

If is even and is odd:

h(-x) = f(-x)g(-x)

=f(x)(-g(x))

= -f(x)g(x)

= -h(x)

If both and are odd:

h(-x) = f(-x)g(-x)

=(-f(x))(-g(x))

=f(x)g(x)

=h(x)

04

Definition of the derivative as a limit of difference for the even function

If the function is even then

Here, the eveness of the function is used.

05

Definition of the derivative as a limit of difference for the odd function

If the function is odd then

Here, the oddness of the function is used.

Thus, the odd and even function are algebraically proved.

In Problems 3 to 12, find the average value of the function on the given interval. Use equation (4.8) if it applies. If an average value is zero, you may be able to decide this from a quick sketch which shows you that the areas above and below the x axis are the same.

sin 2xon(π6,7π6)

The diagram shows a “relaxation” oscillator. The chargeqon the capacitor builds up until the neon tube fires and discharges the capacitor (we assume instantaneously). Then the cycle repeats itself over and over.

(a) The charge q on the capacitor satisfies the differential equation

, here R is the Resistance, C is the capacitance and Vis the

Constant d-c voltage, as shown in the diagram. Show that if q=0 when

t=0 then at any later time t (during one cycle, that is, before the neon

Tube fires),

(b) Suppose the neon tube fires at. Sketch q as a function of t for

several cycles.

(b) Expand the periodic q in part (b) in an appropriate Fourier series.

Find the exponential Fourier transform of the given f(x)and write f(x)as a Fourier integral.

f(x)={sinx,|x|<π/20,|x|>π/2

(a) Find the exponential Fourier transform off(x)=e|x|and write the inverse transform. You should find

0cosαxα2+1dα=π2e|x|

(b) Obtain the result in (a) by using the Fourier cosine transform equations (12.15).

(c) Find the Fourier cosine transform of f(x)=11+x2. Hint: Write your result in (b) with xandαinterchanged.

For each of the periodic functions in Problems5.1to 5.11, use Dirichlet's theorem to find the value to which the Fourier series converges at x=0,±π/2,±π,±2π.
