For problem 6f, I get $b_n=0$, which I know is wrong.
I have $$b_n=\frac{2}{\pi} \int_0 ^{\pi} \sin((m-1/2)x) \sin((n+1/2)x) dx \\
=1/pi \int_0 ^{\pi} \cos((m-n-1)x) -\cos((m+n)x) dx =0$$
Separately for $n \neq m-1$ and $n=m-1$. Why am I getting b_n=0?

The last line of calculations is wrong. We already counted
$\in_0^\pi \cos (kx)\,dx$
