Solve using Fourier series.

Mathematics

Olin [163]3 years ago

With 2L=\pi, the Fourier series expansion of f(x) is

\displaystyle f(x)\sim\frac{a_0}2+\sum_{n\ge1}a_n\cos\dfrac{n\pi x}L+\sum_{n\ge1}b_n\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}L
\displaystyle f(x)\sim\frac{a_0}2+\sum_{n\ge1}a_n\cos2nx+\sum_{n\ge1}b_n\sin2nx

where the coefficients are obtained by computing

\displaystyle a_0=\frac1L\int_0^{2L}f(x)\,\mathrm dx
\displaystyle a_0=\frac2\pi\int_0^\pi f(x)\,\mathrm dx

\displaystyle a_n=\frac1L\int_0^{2L}f(x)\cos\dfrac{n\pi x}L\,\mathrm dx
\displaystyle a_n=\frac2\pi\int_0^\pi f(x)\cos2nx\,\mathrm dx

\displaystyle b_n=\frac1L\int_0^{2L}f(x)\sin\dfrac{n\pi x}L\,\mathrm dx
\displaystyle b_n=\frac2\pi\int_0^\pi f(x)\sin2nx\,\mathrm dx

You should end up with

a_0=0
a_n=0
(both due to the fact that f(x) is odd)
b_n=\dfrac1{3n}\left(2-\cos\dfrac{2n\pi}3-\cos\dfrac{4n\pi}3\right)

Now the problem is that this expansion does not match the given one. As a matter of fact, since f(x) is odd, there is no cosine series. So I'm starting to think this question is missing some initial details.

One possibility is that you're actually supposed to use the even extension of f(x), which is to say we're actually considering the function

\varphi(x)=\begin{cases}\frac\pi3&\text{for }|x|\le\frac\pi3\\0&\text{for }\frac\pi3

and enforcing a period of 2L=2\pi. Now, you should find that

\varphi(x)\sim\dfrac2{\sqrt3}\left(\cos x-\dfrac{\cos5x}5+\dfrac{\cos7x}7-\dfrac{\cos11x}{11}+\cdots\right)

The value of the sum can then be verified by choosing x=0, which gives

\varphi(0)=\dfrac\pi3=\dfrac2{\sqrt3}\left(1-\dfrac15+\dfrac17-\dfrac1{11}+\cdots\right)
\implies\dfrac\pi{2\sqrt3}=1-\dfrac15+\dfrac17-\dfrac1{11}+\cdots

as required.

Which graph is defined by f(x) = |x2 − x − 2|? A. graph A B. graph B C. graph C D. graph D
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the question comes with answer choices, please share them.   In this case it sounds like there were four graphs from which to choose.

f(x) = |x^2 − x − 2| is always zero or greater, due to the absolute value function.

x^2 − x − 2 = 0 factors to (x - 2)(x + 1) = 0, so the zeros of f(x) are {-1, 2}.

Plot x-intercepts {-1, 2}.  The axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = 1/2, which is precisely halfway between the x-intercepts.  If we now choose the test number x = 0, we find the value of f(0) to be |-2}, which tells us that the y-intercept is (0, |-2|), or (0, 2), so we have a parabolic curve opening down between x = -1 and x = 2 and touching (but not crossing) the x-axis at those x-values. To the left of x = -1 the curve increases steadily from y = 0 in Quadrant II; to the right of x = 2, the curve increases steadily from y = 0 in Quadrant I.
