What is the scaling property of the Dirac delta function?
💡 Hint: Think about how the argument affects both the delta function's shape and height.
If δ(x) has an area of 1, what happens when you scale it to δ(3x)?
💡 Hint: Remember the area under the curve for the delta function should always be constant.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A concentrated load at δ(x) is scaled by a factor of 2 (i.e., δ(2x)). How would this scaling affect the load's representation, and what would the new amplitude be?
💡 Hint: Revisit the scaling property formula to check the relationship.
Given δ(-3x) = ? How does scaling and the negative affect the function’s properties?
💡 Hint: Remember to consider what the absolute value means for the scaling.
