Periodic CT Signal and Its Fourier Coefficients

A Fourier Series of a periodic CT signal is such that:
$ x(t) = \sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty a_k * e $($ j*k*w_0*t $)


Take the signal $ x(t) = 5cos(2t) - 4sin(5t) $. The graph below proves that it is indeed periodic, with a period $ T = \pi $.

$ \,\ sin(x) = \frac{1}{2j} * (e $(jx) $ \,\ - e $(-jx)$ \,\ ) $

and

$ \,\ cos(x) = \frac{1}{2} * (e $(jx) $ \,\ + e $(-jx)$ \,\ ) $

Therefore,

$ x(t) = 5 * \frac{1}{2} * (e $(j2t) $ \,\ + e $(-j2t)$ \,\ ) - 4 * \frac{1}{5j} * (e $(j5t) $ \,\ - e $(-j5t)$ \,\ ) $


$ \,\ x(t) = \frac{5}{2} * e $(j2t) $ \,\ + \frac{5}{2} * e $(-j2t)$ - \frac{4}{5} * e $(j5t) $ + \frac{4}{5} * e $(-j5t)


The period $ \,\ T = 2\pi $ so if $ \,\ w_0 = \frac{2\pi}{T} $, then $ \,\ w_0 = 1 $.
