[Community Question] Calculus: calculating 2 constants in a function

One of our user asked:

$$M=\{f\in C[0,2\pi],\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sinxdx=\pi,\int_{0}^{2\pi}f(x)sin2xdx=2\pi\} $$ $a,b\in \mathbb R, g\in M, g(x)=asinx+bsin2x,x\in [0,2\pi]$

I've read on the answers that $a=1,b=2$ and I don't know how to calculate them. Can somebody explain me,please? By the way, the problem is to determine $ \int_{0}^{2\pi}(g(x))^2 dx$ so you have to first get the constants $a$ and $b$.

[Community Question] Calculus: Asymptotic behavior of $\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{b^n}$

One of our user asked: This follow my previous post here , where Song has proven that $\forall b>1,\lim\limits_{x\to 1^{-}}\frac{1}{\ln(1-x)}\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{b^n}=-\frac{1}{\ln(b)}$ , that is to say : $$\forall b>1,\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{b^n}=-\log_b(1-x)+o_{x\to1^-}\left(\log_b(1-x)\right)$$ (The $o_{x\to1^-}\left(\log_b(1-x)\right)$ representing a function that is asymptotically smaller than $\log_b(1-x)$ when $x\to1^{-}$ , that is to say whose quotient by $\log_b(1-x)$ converges to $0$ as $x\to1^{-}$ , see small o notation ) So we have here a first asymptotical approximation of $\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{b^n}$ . I now want to take it one step further and refine the asymptotical behaviour, by proving a stronger result which I conjecture to be true (backed by numerical simulations) : $$\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}x^{b^n}=-\log_b(1-x)+O_{x\to1^-}\left(1\right)$$ (The $O_{x\to1^-}\left(1\right)$ representing a function that is asymptotically bounded wh...
