Homework 10 collaboration area

From Jake Eppehimer:

I must be doing something wrong on problem 2 of Lesson 31. There doesn't seem to be a way to solve the integral if you use formula (1b) with the answer from problem 1. Any tips?

Also, I don't understand how to do number 5 on Lesson 29. Any help would be appreciated.

Response from Mickey Rhoades Mrhoade

I get 2/pi times a bunch of sinc function integrals which have to be evaluated with the Dirichlet Integral. I can use Table 11.10 relationship #10 and get the answer without chugging out all the integrals. ---

From Jake:

What page is this table on? I'm not seeing anything. Thanks.

From Andrew:

Table 1 in 11.10 on Page 534 is a table of Fourier Cosine Transforms.

From Eun Young:

From the lesson 30 lecture note, we know that $ \int_0^{\infty} \frac{2 \sin w }{\pi w} \cos wv \ \ dw = 1 $ if -1<v<1 and 0 otherwise. Consider only positive v. Then, $ \int_0^{\infty} \frac{2 \sin w }{\pi w} \cos wv \ \ dw = 1 $ if 0 <v<1 and 0 if v>1.

From this, we can compute $ \int_0^{\infty} \frac{2 \sin 2w }{\pi w} \cos wv \ \ dw . $

Let 2w = t. Then, $ \int_0^{\infty} \frac{2 \sin 2w }{\pi w} \cos wv \ \ dw = \int_0^{\infty} \frac{ 2 \sin t }{ \pi \frac t 2} cos (t \frac v 2 ) \frac{dt}{2} = \int_0^{\infty} \frac{2 \sin t}{ \pi t} cos(\frac v 2 t) \ \ dt = 1 \ \ \text{if} \ \ 0 < \frac v 2 < 1 \ \ \ \text{and } 0 \ \ \ \text{if} \ \ \frac v 2 >1 $.

Thus, $ \int_0^{\infty} \frac{2 \sin 2w }{\pi w} \cos wv \ \ dw =1 \ \ \text{if} \ \ 0 <v < 2 \ \ \ \text{and } 0 \ \ \ \text{if} \ v >2 $.

Use the second and the last equations. Then, you will get the answer.

From Farhan:

In response to Jake, regarding 11.6.5, I am thinking of a simple proof only with words, like a summation of only even functions will give an even function (I am not 100% sure if I can make this claim). But would like to hear from others if they are thinking of coming up with a mathematical rigorous proof.

From Craig:

In response to Jake and Farhan, for 11.6 #5 I described a proof with words and then gave examples, as the book asked. I'm not sure if this is exactly what was desired, but it gets the point across.

On a separate note, is anyone else getting a different answer than the book for 11.8 #5? When working it out, I'm getting an extra -2w/w^3 term. My math looks correct, but I still have a bit of doubt.

From Hzillmer I'm having trouble getting started on 11.5, I must have missed something critical in the notes and the book isn't much help. Can someone point me in the right direction. I wrote down an example but I don't understand how an integral with P(x) in it can be evaluated without knowing P(x).
