Figure 5.28 (a) Problem 5.49. (b) Problem 5.50

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

The given function is even, \(f(-t)=+f(t)\). Therefore, \(\sin (m \omega t) f(t)\) is odd and all of the integrals (5.84) for the coefficients \(b_{m}\) are zero. Since \(\cos (m \omega t) f(t)\) is even, the coefficients \(a_{m}\), are not necessarily zero. Bearing in mind that \(\tau=2\), so \(\omega=\pi\), we find that
