Exercise · ZW-FOURIER-TRANSFORM-PROPERTIES-006 · ★★☆ Intermediate

Let \( x(t)=e^{-3t}u(t) \) with \( X(\omega)=\frac{1}{3+j\omega} \). What is the transform of \( x(t-2) \)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • B. \( \frac{e^{-2j\omega}}{3+j\omega} \)

Explanation

Shifting by 2 units multiplies the transform by \( e^{-2j\omega} \) and leaves the denominator unchanged. A positive sign in the exponent or a squared denominator are frequent errors.

Review the concept: Fourier transform properties

Set of rules describing how the Fourier transform \(X(\omega)\) of a signal \(x(t)\) changes under operations such as shifting, scaling, differentiation, or convolution.

\[x(t-t_0) \leftrightarrow e^{-j\omega t_0}X(\omega)\]
