I cannot get the answer as from the solution manuel.
Please tell me what am I assuming wrong.
Thanks

The Dirac Delta function, denoted as δ(x), is a mathematical function that represents an infinitely narrow and infinitely tall spike at the origin (x=0) and zero elsewhere. It is commonly used in physics and engineering to model point sources and impulse signals.
The Dirac Delta function has three main properties: it is infinitely tall, it is infinitely narrow, and it integrates to 1 over its support. This means that the integral of the Dirac Delta function from negative infinity to positive infinity is equal to 1.
The Dirac Delta function can be thought of as a mathematical representation of an impulse or a point source. In physics and engineering, it is often used to describe the behavior of point masses, point charges, and point forces.
The Dirac Delta function has many applications in physics and engineering. It is used to model point sources in electromagnetic fields, to describe the behavior of particles in quantum mechanics, and to solve differential equations in engineering problems.
The Kronecker Delta function, denoted as δij, is a discrete version of the Dirac Delta function. It takes on the value of 1 when the two indices i and j are equal, and 0 otherwise. In other words, it is a discrete version of the Dirac Delta function with a finite number of possible values.
