How to obtain the CTFT of a cosine in terms of f in hertz (from the formula in terms of $ \omega $)

Recall:

$ x(t)= \cos(\omega_0 t) $

$ \mathcal{X}(\omega)=\pi \left[\delta (\omega - \omega_0) + \delta (\omega + \omega_0)\right] $

To obtain X(f), use the substitution

$ \omega= 2 \pi f $.

More specifically

$ \begin{align} X(f) &=\mathcal{X}(2\pi f) \\ &=\pi \left[\delta (2\pi f- \omega_0) + \delta (2\pi f+ \omega_0)\right] \\ &=\frac{1}{2} \left[\delta (f - \frac{\omega_0}{2\pi}) + \delta (f + \frac{\omega_0}{2\pi})\right] \end{align} $

$ Since\ k\delta (kt)=\delta (t),\forall k\ne 0 $
