Thread: Fourier row

I need to decide whether this trigonometrial row

\Sum_{n=-25}^{50} (n^3+1)e^(I*n*x)

is a Fourier row for a continous 2\pi periodic function?

I dont know what to do when the row doesnt go from -\infty till \infty??

Thanks for the help.

[Note: the English word used here is series, not row.]

The above expression is a finite sum of continuous -periodic functions , and is therefore continuous and -periodic. It would not be possible to extend this particular series to an infinite trigonometric series because that series does not converge (the terms become unboundedly large as ).
