    MHB Fourier Transform of f'(ax): Discrepancy in Results?

    What is the Fourier transform of $f'(ax)$, where a>0 is a constant? Firstly, I reasoned that (lets say $F[f]$ is the Fourier transform of f) $F[f('x)]=\frac{1}{a}F[f](\frac{k}{a})$ by scaling theorem, then using the derivative rule we get $F[f'(ax)]=\frac{ik}{a}F[f(x)](\frac{k}{a})$. But when I...
