Answer 1

Guess: $ X(f)=\delta (f-\frac{1}{2}) $

Proof:

$ x(t)=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} X(f)e^{j2\pi ft} df = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \delta (f-\frac{1}{2})e^{j2\pi ft} df = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \delta (f-\frac{1}{2})e^{j\pi t} df = e^{j\pi t} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \delta (f-\frac{1}{2}) df = e^{j\pi t} $

using the fact that $ \delta (t-x)f(t) = \delta (t-x)f(x) $
