A solution of the wave equation using D'Alembert's solution

Solve the wave equation subject to the initial conditions u(x,0)=sin(x)/(x^2+1), du/dt(x,0)=x/(x^2+1)

The Fourier coefficients of a derivative

Let f be a 2 pi periodic, differentiable function with Fourier coefficients a_n and b_n. Let (a_n)*, (b_n)* be the Fourier coefficients of f'. a) Show that (a_0)*=0 b) Use integration by parts to find a formula for the Fourier coefficients of f' in terms of the Fourier coefficients of f.
