δ(t−d)dt=1

f(t)δ(t −d)dt=f(d)

f(t)δ(t −d)dt = f(d)

δ(t −d)dt =1andhence

is known as the sifting property of the delta function. By multiplying a function, f (t),

by δ(t −d) and integrating from −∞ to ∞ we siftfrom the function the value f (d).

(b)

∫ ∞

f(t)δ(t −d)dt = f(d)

withf(t) =t 2 andd = 2.Hence
