I don't know how to do this question I was given... I just need a pointer in the right direction, not a full solution please:
"A function is defined on 0<=x<=L by
f(x) = x for 0<=x<=L/2
L-x for L/2<=x<=L
Find a sine Fourier series for f."
I know how to do this question, except for the fact that the function is actually two different things in the range 0 to L, which throws me off-track.
I need to find Bn, so would it work to find it for x as if that were the whole function with a range of 0 to L/2 , then add the Bn for L-x with a range of 0 to L, then take away the Bn for L-x in the range 0 to L/2?
I hope that made some sense... Or if you didn't understand it, just please post how you are meant to do this...
