Confusion about Fourier transform of some simple functions

96 Views Asked by At

According to the book "Linear Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers" by Tyn Myint-U. and Lokenath Debnath, on page 446

Many simple functions, such as a constant function, $sin ωx$, and $x^n H (x)$, do not have Fourier transforms even though they occur frequently in applications

But from some tables of Fourier trasnfrom

$$\mathscr{F}_x(1)=\delta(k)$$

and

$$\mathscr{F}_x[\sin(x)](\omega)=i\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}(\delta(\omega-1)-\delta(\omega+1))$$

Can someone please explain?
