Properties of the Fourier Transform

Linearity

$F\left[a\,x(t)+b\,x(t)\right]$	$=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\left[a\,x(t)+b\,x(t)\right]e^{-j\,2\pi f\,t}\,dt$
	$=a\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\,x(t)\,e^{-j\,2\pi f\,t}\,dt+b\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\,x(t)\,e^{-j\,2\pi f\,t}\,dt$
	$=a\,F[x(t)]+b\,F[x(t)]$

Time Invariance (Delay)

$F[x(t-t_{0})]\,\!$	$=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }x(t-t_{0})\,e^{-j\,2\pi f\,t}\,dt$	Let $u=t-t_{0}\,\!$ and $du=dt\,\!$
	$=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }x(u)\,e^{-j\,2\pi f\,(u+t_{0})}\,du$
	$=e^{-j\,2\pi f\,t_{0}}\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }x(u)\,e^{-j\,2\pi f\,u}\,du$
	$=e^{-j\,2\pi f\,t_{0}}\,F[x(t)]$
