**Transcription for Educational Website:**

The task is to find the trigonometric Fourier series coefficients of the following signal.

**Graph Explanation:**

- **Axes:** The horizontal axis is labeled \( t \) (time), and the vertical axis is labeled \( f(t) \) (signal amplitude).
- **Signal Description:** The function \( f(t) \) appears to have a triangular waveform.
- **Waveform Pattern:** 
  - Peaks at \( f(t) = 2 \) and troughs at \( f(t) = -2 \).
  - The pattern shows symmetry about the vertical axis, implying it's an even function.
  - The waveform repeats every 4 units along the \( t \)-axis, indicating a period of 4.
- **Key Points:**
  - The waveform passes through the origin (0,0).
  - Linear segments connect points at \( (-2, 0) \) to \( (0, 2) \), \( (0, 2) \) to \( (2, 0) \), and so on, continuing periodically.
  
This periodic waveform can be analyzed to determine its Fourier series, which will reveal its frequency components.
