Evaluating $\int_0^\infty \frac{\sin{(tx)}}{x(x^2+1)}dx$

158 Views Asked by At

I want to show that $\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac{\sin{(tx)}}{x(x^2+1)}dx=\frac{\pi}{2}(1-e^{-t})\tag{1}$ for $t>0 $ by justifying differentiation under the integral sign and using $\displaystyle\int_R \frac{\cos{(tx)}}{x^2+1}=\pi e^{-|t|}$.

My attempt:- Let $F(t)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty \frac{\sin{(tx)}}{x(x^2+1)}dx$. If we try to compute $F'(t)$ for $t>0$ using differentiation under the integral sign, then we get

$$F'(t)=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty \frac{\partial}{\partial t}\left(\frac{\sin{(tx)}}{x(x^2+1)}\right)\,dx=\displaystyle\int_0^\infty \frac{\cos{(tx)}}{x^2+1}\,dx=\frac{\pi}{2}e^{-t}.\tag{2}$$

Now how to answer this question?

For $t>0$, 2) gives $F(t)=\frac {\pi} 2 (1-e^{-t})$ by integration and the condition $F(0)=0$. (For $t <0$ you can use the fact that LHS of 1) is an odd function).
