Let's assume we have $$f(x) = frac12picdotint_-pi/2^pi/2 cos(x)cdot e^-jnx.$$



Usually it's possible to move the border and multiply the integral with $2$. Geometrically you cut the half and add it again afterwards to make calculation easier.

Obviously this isn't legal here but I can't see why (beside the obvious reason that it's simply not equal).



beginalign
frac12picdotint_-pi/2^pi/2 cos(x)cdot e^-jnx &neq frac1picdotint_0^pi/2 cos(x)cdot e^-jnx \
frac12picdotint_-pi/2^pi/2 cos(x)cdot e^-jnx &= fracn pi cdot sin[n pi]1 - n^2 \
frac1picdotint_0^pi/2 cos(x)cdot e^-jnx &=
fracj (1 + e^-j n pi) n(1 - n^2) pi.
endalign

  • This is legal. Integration is linear and you can divide your main integral into $3$. Two of them vanish.

You can only exploit symmetry when the integrand in question is even, i.e. when $f(-x)=f(x)$. In this case, $f(x)=cos(x)cdot e^-jnx$. It follows that $f(-x)=cos(-x)cdot e^-jn(-x)=cos(x) cdot e^jnx$. Thus, $f(-x)neq f(x)$.
