I started this problem by taking the laplace with respect to t. This gave me s*W = x/s^2 - x d/dx * W. I took the derivative of x to be 1. I then solved for W, which gave me W = x/(s^2(s+1)). After this use partial fractions. I am not positive that this is the correct approach - but it matches the answer in the back of the book. Anyone else have any thoughts?

On prob 16 of 11.1, I set up three piece wise functions to find Bn (odd function An and Ao are 0).

From -pi to -pi/2 I set F(x)=0

From -pi/2 to pi/2 I set F(x)=x
 +
From pi/2 to pi I set F(x)=0
 +
 +
From here I solved for Bn. The fourier series I calculated is F(x) = 2/pi sinx - 2/4pi sin2x + 2/9pi sin3x ...

When graphing this, it is similar to the original graph, but seems slightly off. Am I setting up the problem wrong?

Homework 8 collaboration area

This is the place!

--- From Mnestero:

So after a bunch of algebra to solve the system of equations on prob 12 of 6.7 I got an answer. I often make simple mistakes, so I wanted to see if anyone else got what I have:

y1 = cos(sqrt(2)t)+ 2/5 cos(t)- 7/5 cos(sqrt(6)t) y2 = 1/5 cos(t) + 14/5 cos(sqrt(6)t)

From Chris:

The example in the book and in our notes doesn't look the same as the problem 5 in 12.12. I'm not even sure how to set up the problem. Can anyone help get me started?
