Hi so my lecturer is using this definition of fouriers integral theorem ![Name: 533B2C02-9D9A-4C24-90A3-289D8E739C89.jpg.jpeg

But then when trying to explain why that makes the integral theorem a way to show that any function can be represented by an infinite sum of sin and cosine function, he writes (writing in pen not pencil)

Is there some sort of trick here I can’t see? Because if I do coswt + isinwt I get e^+iwt not e^-iwt
If I want e^-iwt I get coswt -isinwt
Any thoughts/explanations/advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

There is a simple typo (negative sign) in the second picture , but that's all? What you said in your post is correct.
There is little to do with the actual Fourier transform.
If that's your lecturers notes, typos do creep in?

Could you explain what your question is a bit more?

I was thinking there must be some sort of trick because he says that it shows that ‘any function may be represented by an infinite sum of sine and cosine functions’ so thought there must be a way to make it isine + cosine

Thank you! Just assumed I was missing a trick here and didn’t think it could just be a typo!

e^(ix) = cos(x) + i*sin(x)
Where the trig functions are even/odd. Simple typo that's all.
