Problem
Show that
Fs[xf(x)]=−dsdFc(s).
Step 1: Start with the Fourier Cosine Transform
The Fourier Cosine transform of f(x) is defined as
Fc(s)=∫0∞f(x)cos(sx)dx.
Step 2: Differentiate with Respect to s
Differentiating both sides with respect to s gives
dsdFc(s)=dsd∫0∞f(x)cos(sx)dx.
Differentiating inside the integral,
dsdFc(s)=∫0∞f(x)dsdcos(sx)dx.
Since
dsdcos(sx)=−xsin(sx),
we get
dsdFc(s)=∫0∞f(x)(−xsin(sx))dx.
Step 3: Identify the Fourier Sine Transform
Pulling out the negative sign,
dsdFc(s)=−∫0∞xf(x)sin(sx)dx.
The integral
∫0∞xf(x)sin(sx)dx
is the Fourier Sine transform of xf(x), so
Fs[xf(x)]=∫0∞xf(x)sin(sx)dx.
Therefore,
dsdFc(s)=−Fs[xf(x)].
Hence,
Fs[xf(x)]=−dsdFc(s).
