Scaling of the Dirac Delta (Impulse Function)

$ \displaystyle\delta(\alpha f)=\frac{1}{\alpha}\delta(f)\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;for\;\;\alpha>0 $

Mini Proof

$ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(x)dx = 1 $

$ \displaystyle Let\;\;\;y=\alpha x\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;dx=\frac{dy}{\alpha} $

$ \displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(\alpha x)dx=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\delta(y)\frac{dy}{\alpha}=\frac{1}{\alpha} $
