As far as I remember from doing a similar problem a while back, all you need to do is say that the uncertainty in position of your neutron is the diameter of your nucleus (5 fm as you said in problem description), and from there you can find the uncertainty in momentum p. Then you have to make...

So to clarify, in the case of when we have a f(ε) and g(ε, x) with g(ε, x) = (x - ε)n - α - 1, the power law is a continuous basis function with a continuous index x, and by integrating f(ε) * g(ε, x) we find continuous coefficients that represent the function f(ε) in the basis of that power law.

I was wondering what the physical insight is of integrating a product of two functions. When we do that for a Fourier transform, we decompose a function into its constituent frequencies, and that's because the exponential with an imaginary x in the transform can be seen as a weighting function...
