$ a_{k} = 1/T \int_{T} x(t) e^{-jkw_{o}t} dt $

     $ = 1/T \int_{-T_{1}} ^ {T_{1}} 1*e^{-jk2\frac{\pi}{T} t} dt $  (x(t)=1)
     
     $ = 1/T \int_{-T_{1}} ^ {T_{1}} e^{-jk2\frac{\pi}{T} t} dt $
     $ = 1/T [\frac{e^{-jk2\frac{\pi}{T} t}}{-jk2\frac{\pi}{T}}]_{-T_{1}} ^ {T_{1}} $
     $ = \frac{-1}{jk2\pi} (e^{-jk2\frac{\pi}{T} T_{1}} - e^{jk2\frac{\pi}{T} T_{1}}) $
     $ = \frac{1}{k\pi} (Sin(\frac{2k\pi}{T} T_{1}) $
