In each of the following problems you are given a function on the interval .Sketch several periods of the corresponding periodic function of period . Expand the periodic function in a sine-cosine Fourier series,
Do Example 1 above by using a cosine transform (12.15)Obtain (12.17); for , the 0to integral represents the function
Represent this function also by a Fourier sine integral (see the paragraph just before Parseval's theorem).
If a violin string is plucked (pulled aside and let go), it is possible to find a formula f(x, t) for the displacement at time t of any point x of the vibrating string from its equilibrium position. It turns out that in solving this problem we need to expand the function f(x, 0), whose graph is the initial shape of the string, in a Fourier sine series. Find this series if a string of length l is pulled aside a small distance h at its center, as shown.

For each of the periodic functions in Problems 5.1 to 5.11 , use Dirichlet's theorem to find the value to which the Fourier series converges at .
