The sum of p consecutive integers is 4. What is p?

1 answer:

3 0

I'd say there are two possibilities: the trivial choice of p=1 and starting number 4 (so you're summing one consecutive integer starting from 4), or you choose p = 8 and start from -3, so that all numbers from -3 to 3 simplify and you're left with 4 alone:

$-3+(-2)+(-1)+0+1+2+3+4 = 4$

Find the Fourier series of f on the given interval. f(x) = 1, ?7 < x < 0 1 + x, 0 ? x < 7

Zolol [24]

$f(x)=\begin{cases}1&\text{for }-7$

The Fourier series expansion of $f(x)$ is given by

$\dfrac{a_0}2+\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}a_n\cos\frac{n\pi x}7+\sum_{n\ge1}b_n\sin\frac{n\pi x}7$

where we have

$a_0=\displaystyle\frac17\int_{-7}^7f(x)\,\mathrm dx$
$a_0=\displaystyle\frac17\left(\int_{-7}^0\mathrm dx+\int_0^7(1+x)\,\mathrm dx\right)$
$a_0=\dfrac{7+\frac{63}2}7=\dfrac{11}2$

The coefficients of the cosine series are

$a_n=\displaystyle\frac17\int_{-7}^7f(x)\cos\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx$
$a_n=\displaystyle\frac17\left(\int_{-7}^0\cos\frac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx+\int_0^7(1+x)\cos\frac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx\right)$
$a_n=\dfrac{9\sin n\pi}{n\pi}+\dfrac{7\cos n\pi-7}{n^2\pi^2}$
$a_n=\dfrac{7(-1)^n-7}{n^2\pi^2}$

When $n$ is even, the numerator vanishes, so we consider odd $n$ , i.e. $n=2k-1$ for $k\in\mathbb N$ , leaving us with

$a_n=a_{2k-1}=\dfrac{7(-1)-7}{(2k-1)^2\pi^2}=-\dfrac{14}{(2k-1)^2\pi^2}$

Meanwhile, the coefficients of the sine series are given by

$b_n=\displaystyle\frac17\int_{-7}^7f(x)\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx$
$b_n=\displaystyle\frac17\left(\int_{-7}^0\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx+\int_0^7(1+x)\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}7\,\mathrm dx\right)$
$b_n=-\dfrac{7\cos n\pi}{n\pi}+\dfrac{7\sin n\pi}{n^2\pi^2}$
$b_n=\dfrac{7(-1)^{n+1}}{n\pi}$

So the Fourier series expansion for $f(x)$ is

$f(x)\sim\dfrac{11}4-\dfrac{14}{\pi^2}\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}\frac1{(2n-1)^2}\cos\frac{(2n-1)\pi x}7+\frac7\pi\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}n\sin\frac{n\pi x}7$

If you have 186 pencils, how many how many will each person get in a class that has 23 students?

Brut [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of pencils = 186

number of students = 23

number of pencils each student gets = number of pencils ÷ number of pencils

=186/23

=8.08

so each student gets 8 pencils
