Homework Equations

sorry about how this is going to look don't know the language to display nicely and wouldn't take my copy and pasteall integrals are form -infinity to infinity

(x^2+32*z^2)*cos(y)*e^(x-4*z) delta(x-1) delta (y-pi) delta(z-.25) dx, dy dz

The Attempt at a Solution

well i looked at just the cos(y) part and got sin(y) then for the delta i plugged in pi since it is zero elsewhere and that gives me a 0 overall and since it is all mulitplication that makes the whole integral o?

thats my take.

never really understood teh delta's in integrals

\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}dx\,f(x)\delta(x-a) = f(a)

ok. that makes sense. and kinda looks familiar now that i see it and makes the problem a little better.

thanks
