1. Obtain the Fourier series for:
(a)

8
<1; 0  x  
f (x ) = :
0;  < x  2

(b) f (x) = (

x)2 in the interval 0 < x < 2

Compute the error between the original function and the Fourier series representation with 4 terms, at x =  , for both a) and b)
2.

8
< ;
If f (x) =
:x;

 < x < 0;
0<x<

construct the Fourier series representation for the above function and from its
value at x = 0 deduce that

3. A tank contains 4000 litres of water in which 100 kgs of salt is dissolved. Two
hundred litres of brine, containing (1 + cos t) kg of dissolved salt, flows into the
tank every minute. The mixture, kept uniform by stirring, flows out at the same
rate as the input. Find the amount of salt y (t) in the tank at any time t. Comment
on the solution.
4. An object moves along the x axis in such a way that its position at time t > 0 is

dx

governed by the linear differential equation


+ (t
)x = t2 . If the object was

at position x = 2 at time t = 1, where will it be at time t = 3?
