We are given the following information about a signal x[n]:

1. x[n] is periodic with period 3

2. $ \sum^{2}_{n = 0} x[n] = 5 $

3. $ \sum^{2}_{n = 0} (-1)^{n} x[n] = 15 $



1. => $ x[n] = \frac{1}{3} \sum^{2}_{n = 0} a_k e^{j k \frac{2\pi}{3} n} $

2. => $ x[n] = \frac{5}{3} = a_0 $

3. => $ a_1 = \frac{1}{3}(15) = 5 $

$ a_2 = \frac{-1}{3}(15) = -5 $


Solution = $ \frac{5}{3} + 5e^{j \frac{2\pi}{3} t} - 5e^{j \frac{2\pi}{3} t} $
