What does the Fourier transform of $\cos \pi x$ look like?

2k Views Asked by At

If the operator $F$ means Fourier transform, what does the graph of $F[\cos \pi x] = \pi(\delta(\omega - \pi) + \delta(\omega + \pi)) $ look like?

I can see that this is two impulses which is exactly two upward pointing arrows at $\pm \pi$ representing infinity, but what does multiplying the impulses by $\pi$ do graphically?
