12.4 • THE FOURIER TRANSFORM 539
Table 12.1 gives some important properties of the Fourier transform.

Moment theorem
i (aU1 (t) + bU2 (t)) = ai(u1 (t)) + bJ(U2 (t))
If i(u (t)) = F (w), then i(F (t)) = i,.U (-w).
J (U (at))= ~F (!£)
J (U (t - to))= e-itow F (w)
J(e-iwotu(t)) =F(w-wo)
i (U' (t) ) = iwF(w)
d"fw~w) = i((-it)" U (t))
If M n = J~ 00 tnU (t) dt, then (-i)" M,. = 21f p(n) (0).
