Computing the Fourier transform of a tempered distribution.

40 Views Asked by At

Let $f(x)=x_1|x|^\alpha$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ for $\alpha > n-1$. We have to compute $\hat{f}(\xi)$. The hint says to compute $(d/dx_1)(|x|^{\alpha+2})$. I don't quite understand how I should go about on solving the question.

Really appreciate the help! thanks!
