Question

Let g: [0,)[0,) be a function defined by g(x) = x - [x], where [x] represents the integer part of x. (That is, it is the largest ineger which is less than or equal to x). The value of the constant term in the Fourier series expansion of g(x) is
  1. 0.5

Solution

The correct option is A 0.5
Here we will use Case I of main definition of Fourier series because g(x) = x -[x] is periodic function with period 1 so we have

(0.2l)(0,1)l=12
So, a0=1l2l0f(x)dx
=11/210(x[x])dx
=210xdx=1
Hence, constant term in Fourier series =a02=12
