Don't understand an integral with complex numbers.

I am studying the fourier transformation and I don't understand this integral (it is set to find the Fourier coefficients of the function $f(x)=x$: integralSpecifically, I know it is integrating by parts, but I don't understand the last equality. I'd appreciate if someone could elaborate. Thank you

    I recommend taking the expression before the last $=$ and trying to evaluate it yourself.

First of all, note thatbegin{align}int_{-frac12}^frac12e^{-2pi inx},mathrm dx&=left[frac{e^{-2pi inx}}{2pi in}right]_{x=-frac12}^{x=frac12}=0,end{align}since the exponential function is periodic with period $2pi i$.



So, the expression after the second $=$ sign is just$$left[frac{-1}{2pi in}e^{-2pi inx}right]_{x=-frac12}^{x=frac12},$$which is precisely $dfrac{(-1)^{n+1}}{2pi in}$.

    Hint:



    Expanding out the RHS gives us:



    $$frac{1}{2nipi}bigg(frac 12(e^{npi i}+e^{-npi i})bigg)+frac{1}{2nipi}bigg(frac{1}{2nipi}(e^{-npi i}-e^{npi i})bigg)$$



    Can you see this is:



    $$frac{cos (npi)}{2nipi}+frac{sin(-npi)}{2n^2pi^2i}$$
