Please rate my easiness! It's quick and helps everyone guide their studies. To compute the coefficient, start with where and . Also, we have L=1-0=1. Take the inner product of ƒ(t) with . The only term in the infinite sum that remains is the one with , and in this case . Thus and we get the formula Since we have , and so we overall find that |
