A) 62.5%

5 divided by 8 is 0.625, then multiply by 100 to get 62.5 :)

Your answer is 62.5...they way you find this out for any problems like this it to take the top number and divide it by the bottom one then times by 100, 5/8=0.625 then you times it by 100 which gives you the answer of 62.5
hope i helped :)

For the function defined by f(t)=2-t, 0≤t<1, sketch 3 periods and find:

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The half-range sine series is the expansion for $f(t)$ with the assumption that $f(t)$ is considered to be an odd function over its full range, $-1$ . So for (a), you're essentially finding the full range expansion of the function

$f(t)=\begin{cases}2-t&\text{for }0\le t$

with period 2 so that $f(t)=f(t+2n)$ for $|t|$ and integers $n$ .

Now, since $f(t)$ is odd, there is no cosine series (you find the cosine series coefficients would vanish), leaving you with

$f(t)=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}b_n\sin\frac{n\pi t}L$

where

$b_n=\displaystyle\frac2L\int_0^Lf(t)\sin\frac{n\pi t}L\,\mathrm dt$

In this case, $L=1$ , so

$b_n=\displaystyle2\int_0^1(2-t)\sin n\pi t\,\mathrm dt$
$b_n=\dfrac4{n\pi}-\dfrac{2\cos n\pi}{n\pi}-\dfrac{2\sin n\pi}{n^2\pi^2}$
$b_n=\dfrac{4-2(-1)^n}{n\pi}$

The half-range sine series expansion for $f(t)$ is then

$f(t)\sim\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}\frac{4-2(-1)^n}{n\pi}\sin n\pi t$

which can be further simplified by considering the even/odd cases of $n$ , but there's no need for that here.

The half-range cosine series is computed similarly, this time assuming $f(t)$ is even/symmetric across its full range. In other words, you are finding the full range series expansion for

$f(t)=\begin{cases}2-t&\text{for }0\le t$

Now the sine series expansion vanishes, leaving you with

$f(t)\sim\dfrac{a_0}2+\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}a_n\cos\frac{n\pi t}L$

where

$a_n=\displaystyle\frac2L\int_0^Lf(t)\cos\frac{n\pi t}L\,\mathrm dt$

for $n\ge0$ . Again, $L=1$ . You should find that

$a_0=\displaystyle2\int_0^1(2-t)\,\mathrm dt=3$

$a_n=\displaystyle2\int_0^1(2-t)\cos n\pi t\,\mathrm dt$
$a_n=\dfrac2{n^2\pi^2}-\dfrac{2\cos n\pi}{n^2\pi^2}+\dfrac{2\sin n\pi}{n\pi}$
$a_n=\dfrac{2-2(-1)^n}{n^2\pi^2}$

Here, splitting into even/odd cases actually reduces this further. Notice that when $n$ is even, the expression above simplifies to

$a_{n=2k}=\dfrac{2-2(-1)^{2k}}{(2k)^2\pi^2}=0$

while for odd $n$ , you have

$a_{n=2k-1}=\dfrac{2-2(-1)^{2k-1}}{(2k-1)^2\pi^2}=\dfrac4{(2k-1)^2\pi^2}$

So the half-range cosine series expansion would be

$f(t)\sim\dfrac32+\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge1}a_n\cos n\pi t$
$f(t)\sim\dfrac32+\displaystyle\sum_{k\ge1}a_{2k-1}\cos(2k-1)\pi t$
$f(t)\sim\dfrac32+\displaystyle\sum_{k\ge1}\frac4{(2k-1)^2\pi^2}\cos(2k-1)\pi t$

Attached are plots of the first few terms of each series overlaid onto plots of $f(t)$ . In the half-range sine series (right), I use $n=10$ terms, and in the half-range cosine series (left), I use $k=2$ or $n=2(2)-1=3$ terms. (It's a bit more difficult to distinguish $f(t)$ from the latter because the cosine series converges so much faster.)
