1. The problem statement
Show that:
[tex]\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) \delta^{(n)}(x-a) dx = (-1)^n f^{(n)}(a)[/tex]
I am trying to understand how to prove:
[tex]\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x) \delta '(x) dx =- f'(x)[/tex]
I know that we need to use integration by parts, but I'm looking for a more detailed explanation of how to use integration by parts (what is u and what is dv?). I think if I understand this, then I will be able to apply this to the problem above.
