Fourier Transform and Series

The document contains 4 problems related to Fourier series. Problem 1 asks for the constant term in the Fourier series of a periodic function g(x). The solution is that the constant term is 0.5. Problem 2 gives 4 options for the Fourier series of a periodic function and the solution is option (b). Problem 3 asks for the general form of the Fourier series of an odd periodic function f(x) and the solution is that it will only contain sine terms. Problem 4 gives the Fourier series of a piecewise defined periodic function f(x) and asks for the value obtained by taking the convergence of the series at x=0, whose solution is π2/8.

Fourier Series
01. Let g: ? 0, ∞ → ? 0, ∞ be a function defined by g(x) = x –[x], where [x] represents
The integer part of x. ( That is, it is the largest integer which is less than or equal to x).
The value of the constant term in the Fourier series expansion of g(x) is ----------------
(GATE – 14 – EE –Set 1)
