    How do you integrate dirac delta functions?

    Are you saying that I should only consider the (x-5) and (x-1) roots? Would that then result in the answer being 1/6? Why would I not consider the negative root? :S I know this relation exists: ∫dx⋅f(x)⋅δ(ax+b) = 1/|a|⋅f(-a-1b). (sorry for the formatting) (limits ±∞ again) Which I understand...

    How do you integrate dirac delta functions?

    Homework Statement ∫δ(x3 - 4x2- 7x +10)dx. Between ±∞. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution Well I don't really know how to attempt this. In the case where inside the delta function there is simply 2x, or 5x, I know the answer would be 1/2 or 1/5. Or for say δ(x^2-5), the answer would...

    Using Parseval's Theorem to evaluate an integral -- Help please

    Homework Statement By applying Parseval's (Plancherel's) theorem to the function are given by: f(x) = -1 for -2 ≤ x < 0 1 for 0 ≥ x < 2 0 otherwise determine the value of the following integral. ∫ dk sin^4(k)/(k^2) (Integral between ±infinity) Homework Equations...
