Homework Equations

This is my homework from John David Jackson's Classical Elektrodynamics book

The Attempt at a Solution

I can't an attempt. Some properties is proved at wiki and other web pages but didn't find this.

Let \lbrace x_i \rbracebe the zeroes of function f(x). Near the zeroes, you can write the function as f(x) = f'(x_i)(x-x_i) + O(x-x_i)^2. As the Dirac delta is entirely localized at x_i, you can just drop all higher order terms and it's still exact. Then you can use the scaling property of delta function, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function#Scaling_and_symmetry

Ok. Thank you clamtrox.
