Write out the details of the derivation of equation 5.10.
We have said that Fourier series can represent discontinuous functions although power series cannot. It might occur to you to wonder why we could not substitute the power series for and (which converge for all x) into a Fourier series and collect terms to obtain a power series for a discontinuous function. As an example of what happens if we try this, consider the series in Problem 9.5. Show that the coefficients of x, if collected, form a divergent series; similarly, the coefficients of form a divergent series, and so on.
