Given three functions: f(x) = x, g(x) = sin(x), and h(x) = e^{-x}, calculate the Fourier Cosine Transform of the linear combination 2f(x) + 3g(x) - h(x). Explain each step in detail.
💡 Hint: Break down the problem into manageable parts, focusing on each function's transform first.
Reflect on a structural engineering problem involving multiple static loads on a beam and utilize the linearity property to propose a method for analyzing these loads.
💡 Hint: Consider using known values or functions to represent loads, and think about how you can calculate their individual effects before combining.
