1. * Consider the function f(t) = left{egin{array}{ll}1, & 0 < t < frac{pi}{2} \ 0, & -frac{pi}{2} < t < 0end{array} ight., f(t+pi) = f(t). Perform the following tasks: (a) Sketch the given function over exactly 3 periods. (b) Write out the form of Fourier series for f(t). (c) Write out integral expressions for a_n and b_n. (d) Evaluate the integrals in (c) using MATLAB. (e) Use the results in (d) to write out the Fourier series of f(t). (f) Write out the first few terms of the Fourier series in (e). (g) Plot the graphs of finite sums of the Fourier series of f(t) by using MATLAB, and thus figure out roughly how many terms are needed to get a good approximation of f(t). (h) Is f(t) continuous at t = frac{pi}{2}? What value does the Fourier series converge to at this point?

Step 1
This means the function repeats its values every 7 units along the t-axis. The question seems to have a typo in defining the function only for 0, 3 < t < 0, which doesn't make sense. Assuming the function is meant to be defined for some interval within one period Show moreā¦
