# Fourier cosine integral

## Homework Statement

show that
xf(x)=integral from 0 to infinity of [B*(w)sin(wx)]dw , // B* is a function not B * w

where B* = -dA/dw
A(w) = 2/pi integral from 0 to infinity [f(v) cos(wv)] dv

## Homework Equations

f(x)=integral from 0 to infinity [A(w)cos(wx)] dw

## The Attempt at a Solution

working on right hand side
B*= 2/pi * integral from 0 to infinity [vf(v)cos(wv)dv]
=integral from 0 to infinity of [2/pi * integral from 0 to infinity [vf(v)cos(wv)dv]sin(wx)]dw
left side = integral from 0 to infinity [ A(w)xcos(wx)]dw

Even when i tried writing A as integral i dont see how do i prove 2 sides which have 2 integrals in them equal each other?

>_> I know I didn't do alot of work but there is not much to work on from the book and I don't really know how to algebriacly manipulate integrals of the form g(x) = integral from 0 to infinity f(x,y)dy

should I repost this in engineering section?

those are pictures of the problem if it's not clear ><
