1. State necessary conditions for the existence of Fourier series representation of a
function. Represent ( ) sinh( ), ; ( 2 ) ( ), f x ax x f x f x x t t t = < < + = in a
Fourier series. What should be the value of ( ) f x at x t = so that the Fourier
series converges to ( ) f x at x t = ?
2. Test whether the following function is odd or even. ( ) cos , 0 ; f x x x t = < <
( ) ( ), f x f x x t + = . Expand it in Fourier series. Hence find the sum of the series
