SUMMARY
The discussion centers on proving the relationship δ'(ax) = (1/a)*(1/a)*δ'(x), where 'a' is a constant. The original poster attempted to apply the scaling theorem alongside the formal definition of the derivative of the delta function, δ'(x), but struggled to derive the second (1/a) term. Ultimately, the poster resolved the issue independently and no further responses were needed.
