    Q1: Let $x \in (0,2 \pi)$. What is correct for $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\sin(kx)}{k}$?

    A1: $\frac{\pi - x }{2}$

    A2: $\frac{\pi + x }{2}$

    A3: $\frac{x }{2}$

    A4: $\frac{\pi }{2}$

    Q2: Let $x \in [0,2 \pi]$. What is correct for $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{\cos(kx)}{k^2}$?

    A1: $\frac{(x-\pi)^2}{4} - \frac{\pi^2}{12}$

    A2: $\frac{x^2}{4} - \frac{\pi^2}{12}$

    A3: $\frac{(x-\pi)^3}{4} - \frac{\pi^2}{6}$
