Find the coefficients $a_n, b_n$ of the Fourier series for the function :

$1 + 5 \sin(3x)+ \cos^2(2x)$

defined on the whole real axis.

I attempted the question, and found that the function could be re-written as:

$\frac {3}{2} + 5 \sin(3x) + \frac {1}{2}\cos(4x)$

I then compared it to the general form of the Fourier series, but my answer was different/wrong.

The answer given for this question (not my attempt) is:

$a_0$ = 3

$a_4$ = $\frac {1}{2}$

$b_3$ = 5

all others are zero.
