(i) Calculate the Fourier series for the periodic extension on R\mathbb{R} of the function

f(x)=x(1x)f(x)=x(1-x)

defined on the interval [0,1)[0,1).

(ii) Explain why the Fourier series for the periodic extension of f(x)f^{\prime}(x) can be obtained by term-by-term differentiation of the series for f(x)f(x).

(iii) Let G(x)G(x) be the Fourier series for the periodic extension of f(x)f^{\prime}(x). Determine the value of G(0)G(0) and explain briefly how it is related to the values of ff^{\prime}.
