Fourier Series finding An term

Hi,

Here is my working for finding A_n given knowledge that the sum is equal to a constant, l is a constant so the sinh(nl) part is just constant, my answer is mostly correct except it is 2 rather than 4 but I’ve gone over it so much and can’t find where the 4 comes from? Maybe where I am integrating but I’ve triple checked

It might seem stupid to ask about a mistake but small mistakes like this might be me actually misunderstandings part of the process

This is the original question, but I am just worried about the last boundary condition phi(x,l)= phi_0

Actually never mind, I believe the problem is that x > 0 in the question but I am integrating over [pi, -pi]

Sounds reasonable, but not checked.

Also the lhs looked like it was 0 not 2 when its was -pi .. pi.
