= Solution

The <trigonometric identity> gives $\sin x\cos x=\tfrac12\sin2x$, and the complementary-angle <trigonometric identity> gives $\cos(\pi/2-x)=\sin x$. Thus the <Fourier series> is already the finite expression
$$
\boxed{\sin x+\frac12\sin2x}.
$$
The only nonzero <Fourier coefficients> are $b_1=1$ and $b_2=1/2$.
