Question
Let be an even function, i.e. for all . Let the Fourier transform of be defined as . SupposeThen
Correct answer
(A) f(0) < 1
Solution
Given the differential equation , we can solve it by separating variables:
Integrating both sides: .
Using the initial condition , we get .
So, .
The inverse Fourier transform is given by:
.
At :
.
Using the standard Gaussian integral :
.
Since , the correct option is (A).
