Homework Statement



Is the Fourier transform of a even/odd function also even/odd ?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



So far this result seems to be true. I can't find a confirmation however...

Thanks ahead.

As you do the transform on any odd function do you see a place where the even component is always zero? similarly for even functions?

Then that might answer your question.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
