Example 3

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

Ex:     Fill in the following table with check marks for the functions shown below.

 

 

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

The function is odd

 

 

 

 

The function is even

 

 

 

 

The function has shift-flip symmetry

 

 

 

 

av = 0 (DC offset)

 

 

 

 

All the ak are zero (not including an)

 

 

 

 

All bk are zero for even-numbered subscripts
