Chapter 12: Problem 8
Show that for a monotone function \(f(x)\) such that \(f(\pm \infty)=\pm \infty\) with \(f(a)=0\) $$ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \varphi(x) \delta^{\prime}(f(x)) \mathrm{d} x=-\left.\frac{1}{f^{\prime}(x)} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} x}\left(\frac{\varphi(x)}{\left|f^{\prime}(x)\right|}\right)\right|_{x=6} $$ For a general function \(f(x)\) that is monotone on a neighbourhood of all its zeros, find a general formula for the distribution \(\delta^{\prime} \circ f .\)
