Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the basic form of the cosine transform for a function?

   Hint

   Think about the function representation in the integral.

2. 2.

   State the formula for the cosine transform of the first derivative.

   Hint

   Remember how the first derivative relates to frequency.

3. 3.

   Which statement best represents the cosine transform of the first derivative?

   • F {f'(x)} = sF {f(x)}
   • F {f'(x)} = -sF {f(x)}
   • F {f'(x)} = F {f(x)}

   Hint

   Pay attention to how the derivative interacts with frequency.

4. 4.
