Guess the Periodic Signal
A certain periodic signal has the following properties:
1. N = 6
2. $ \sum_{n=0}^{5}x[n] = 4 $
3. $ \sum_{n=1}^{6}(-1)^nx[n] = 2 $
4. $ a_k = a_{k+3}\, $
Answer
From 1. we know that $ x[n] = \frac{1}{6}\sum_{n=0}^{5}a_k e^{jk\frac{\pi}{3}n}\, $
Using 2., it is apparent that this is the formula for $ a_k\, $. Specifically, for $ a_0\, $, since the only thing under the sum is $ x[n]\, $. So,
