Step 1
The formula for the cosine Fourier coefficients is given by: $$a_n = \frac{2}{T} \int_{0}^{T} f(x) \cos(\frac{2\pi nx}{T}) dx$$ In this case, the function f(x) is given as: $$f(x) = 4\cos(3x)$$ Show more…

Consider the following function on interval [0, L] : f(x) = { ∑x, 0 ≤ x < L/2; 0, L/2 ≤ x ≤ L } 1. Sketch the graph of the even extension of f(x) to interval [−L, L]. 2. Sketch the graph of the even, periodic extension of f(x) on interval [−3L, 3L]. 3. Find the values of the Cosine Fourier Series of f(x), at the points: x = 0, x = qL/2, x = qL. Write your answers in the form: C.F.S(0) = ..., C.F.S.(L/2) = ..., C.F.S(L) = ..., C.F.S.(−L/2) = ..., C.F.S(−L) = .... 4. Write down the formulas for the coefficients of the Sine Fourier Series, but do not evaluate the integrals.

Evaluate the integral. ∫ 3x cos(4x) dx To use the integration-by-parts formula ∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du, we must choose one part of ∫ 3x cos(4x) dx to be u, with the rest becoming dv. Since the goal is to produce a simpler integral, we will choose u = 3x. This means that dv = cos(4x) dx. Now, since u = 3x, then du = 3 dx. With our choice that dv = cos(4x) dx, then v = ∫ cos(4x) dx. This can be calculated using integration by substitution. In this case (ignoring the constant of integration) we get v = 1/4 sin(4x). Now, the integration-by-parts formula ∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du gives us ∫ 3x cos(4x) dx = 3x (1/4 sin(4x)) - ∫ 1/4 sin(4x) (3 dx). We must use substitution to do this second integral. We can use the substitution t = 4x, which will give dx = 1/4 dt. Ignoring the constant of integration, we have ∫ sin(4x) dx = -1/4 cos(4x). Combining our results and including the constant of integration, C, we finally get ∫ 3x cos(4x) dx = 3/4 x sin(4x) + 3/16 cos(4x) + C.
