5 1 1 1 1
= − [(  cos( + n)2π + cos( − n)2π)
π 1 + 2n 2 1 − 2n 2

1 1
− ( + )] = □
1 + 2n 1 − 2n

1 1
cos( − n)2π = − cos 2nπ = cos( + n)2π
2 2

− cos 2nπ = − 1,     n ∈ Z

5 1 1
□ = − ( ( − 2)( + )
π 1 + 2n 1 − 2n

1 1 2
+ =
1 + n 1 − n 2
1 − 4n

20 1
□ =   = an
π 2
1 − 4n

⇒ a0 =

Finally, from the de nition:

∞
a0
f (θ) = + ∑ an cos nθ
2
n=1

10 2 2 2
⇒ f (θ) = (1 − cos θ − cos 2θ − cos 3θ.... )
π 3 15 35

More formally:

∞
10 2
f (θ) = (1 + ∑   cos nθ)     △
2
π 1 − 4n
n=1

Part (ii)

From △ :

10 2 2 2
f (π) = 5 = (1 − cos(π) − cos(2π) − cos(3π)...)
π 3 15 35

2 2 2
⇒ 5π = 10(1 + − + ...)
3 15 35

Or:

1 1 1 1
⇒ 5π = 20( + − + ...)
2 3 3(5) 5(7)
