a

$ f(t) = \delta\big(t+1) + \delta(t-1) $


$ F(j\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(t+1)e^{-j\omega t}\,dt + \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(t-1)e^{-j\omega t}\,dt $

by the sifting property of the delta function:

$ F\big(j\omega) = e^{j \omega} + e^{-j \omega} = 2cos\big(\omega ) $

b

$ f(t) = \frac{d\lbrace u(-2-t) + u(t-2)\rbrace }{dt} = \delta(-2-t) + \delta(t-2) $ because $ \frac{d\{u\big(t)\} }{dt} = \delta(t) $

So very similar to part a we can take the integral and use the sifting property of the delta function

$ F(j\omega) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(-2-t)e^{-j\omega t}\,dt + \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(t-2)e^{-j\omega t}\,dt $

Paying special attention to the first integral, the resulting exponential is negative because the delta function is time reversed

$ F\big(j\omega) = -e^{-2j \omega} + e^{2j \omega} = -2jsin\big(2\omega ) $
