Finding Fourier series y=|1-x|



I've been struggling with finding Fourier series of the given function for a while now
enter image description here



I've calculated my coefficients using formulas :










Though my results does approximate function sufficiently enough (see the picture), I'm pretty sure that I did something wrong, as online calculators give me different values for coefficients, and the sum of some series(like (-1)^n/n^2) does not match expected values(integrals are calculated correctly). Is there something wrong with how I approach solving those integrals for coefficients or maybe there are some other pitfalls that I could have encountered? I would really appreciate it if you could help me out at least with calculating . Thank you in advance.

Answer



Here are my calculations. I haven't thoroughly checked them, but hopefully they will help.



an=12[12(1x)cosnπ2x21(1x)cosnπ2x]12[2(x1)nπsinnπ2x+4n2π2cosnπ2x|21+2(x1)nπsinnπ2x+4n2π2cosnπ2x|21]



Evaluated at x=2, and x=2,



sinnπ2x=0cosnπ2x=(1)n



at x=1,(x1)=0



cosnπ2x=0 if n is odd, 1 if n\equiv 2 \pmod 4, 1 if n\equiv4\pmod 4



a_n = -\frac {4}{n^2\pi^2}, \frac {8}{n^2\pi^2},-\frac {4}{n^2\pi^2},0 when n \equiv 1,2,3,4 respectively.



b_n = \frac {1}{2}[\int_{-2}^1 (1-x)\sin \frac {n\pi}{2} x - \int_1^2 (1-x)\sin \frac {n\pi}{2} x]\\ \frac12[\frac {4}{n^2\pi^2} \sin\frac {n\pi}{2} x - \frac {2(x-1)}{n\pi}\cos\frac {n\pi}{2} x]




Evaluated at:



x = 2\\ \frac {2}{n\pi}\cos n\pi\\(-1)^n\frac {2}{n\pi}



x = -2\\ \frac {6}{n\pi}\cos n\pi\\(-1)^n\frac {6}{n\pi}



x = 1\\ \frac {4}{n^2\pi^2} \sin\frac {n\pi}{2}\\ \frac {4}{n^2\pi^2}, 0 ,-\frac {4}{n^2\pi^2}, 0



b_n = -\frac{4}{n\pi} - \frac {4}{n^2\pi},\frac{4}{n\pi},-\frac{4}{n\pi} + \frac {4}{n^2\pi}, \frac{4}{n\pi}
