Most Difficult Problem on First Test
The problem that I found most difficult was problem number 4.
4. Compute the coefficients $ a_{k} \! $ of the Fourier series signal $ x(t) \! $ periodic with period $ T = 4 \! $ defined by
Solution
We know that
$ a_{k} = \frac{1}{T} \int_{0}^{T}x(t)e^{-jk\omega _{o}t}dt $, and since T = 4,
$ a_{k}= \frac{1}{4} \int_{0}^{4}x(t)e^{-jk\frac{\pi}{2}t}dt $
By the definition of $ a_{0} \! $, we know that it is the average of the signal over the period in this case,
$ a_{0} = \frac{1}{2} \! $
