The Attempt at a Solution



Well, I went to the tables for this one and came up empty handed. I found an integral in a table that is almost this integral. The problem is that the integral I found cannot have an exp(-it) term in it...it only allows for exp(+it) terms.

Try taking the complex conjugate of the integral formula.
 
Thanks for the reply. It turns out that the table I was using had a mistake in it. I used mathematica to compute the integral.
