Question

1. DT signal is real and even with period N=12
2. a2=a3=6
3. $ 1/12\sum_{n=0}^{11}|x[n]|^2=144 $.

Answer

Because the signal is even, a2=a(N-2) and a3=a(N-3. Using Parseval's relation, we find that the x[n]in part 3 is equal to ak. Since the sum of all 4 given ak values is 144, we know that all other values of ak =0. From here we just plug these 4 ak values into the x[n] equation.
$ x[n] = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1}a_k e^{jk\frac{2\pi}{N}n}\, $
$ x[n]=6e^{j\pi/3*n}+6e^{j\pi/2*n}+6e^{j3\pi/2*n}+6e^{j5\pi/4*n} $
