For the coefficient sequence 0→Z2​→Z4​→Z2​→0, the Bockstein homomorphism on infinite-dimensional real projective space is zero from an even degree and an isomorphism from an odd degree. In cellular cohomology, lift the mod-two generator to 1∈Z4​. The coboundary is zero in even degree and two in odd degree; identifying two with the image of 1∈Z2​ gives the formula.
