Fourier transform of a even/odd function

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Fourier transform of an even function remains even, while the Fourier transform of an odd function remains odd. This conclusion is supported by the properties of Fourier transforms, where the even component of an odd function is always zero, and vice versa. Therefore, the relationship between the parity of the function and its Fourier transform is definitive and consistent.

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.
Daniel.

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.
