In Problems 17 to 22 you are given f(x) on an interval, say 0 < x < b. Sketch several periods of the even function fcof period 2b, the odd function fsof period 2b, and the function fpof period b, each of which equals f(x)on 0 < x < b . Expand each of the three functions in an appropriate Fourier series.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The even function fc of period 2b is the odd function fs of period 2b is and the function f(x) on 0 < x < b is The graph of the functions is shown below:

Step by step solution

Given Information.

The given function is

02

Meaning of Fourier series.

A periodic function f(x) is expanded using the Fourier series formula in terms of an infinite sum of sines and cosines. Any periodic function or periodic signal is decomposed into the sum of a set of simple oscillating functions, mainly sines and cosines. The formula for a function's Fourier series is as follows:

03

Find the even function fc.

The values of a0 and b0 is 0

.

04

Find the odd function fs.

The value of a0 = 0, and an = 0.

05

Find the complete function.

Again, the value of a0 = 0 and the other coefficients are:

Find the value of bn.

Further solve.

In each of the following problems you are given a function on the interval -π<x<π .Sketch several periods of the corresponding periodic function of period 2ττ . Expand the periodic function in a sine-cosine Fourier series,

f(x)={-x,-π<x<0x,0<x<π

Sketch several periods of the corresponding periodic function of period . Expand the periodic2π function in a sine-cosine Fourier series.

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.

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.
