Answer 1

$ \boldsymbol{\chi}(\omega)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t)e^{-j\omega t}dt=\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-t} u(t)e^{-j\omega t}dt=\int_{0}^\infty e^{-t(j\omega+1)}dt=\frac{e^{-t(j\omega+1)}}{-(j\omega+1)}\Bigg|_0^\infty=\frac{e^{-\infty}}{-(j\omega+1)}-\frac{e^{0}}{-(j\omega+1)}=\frac{1}{j\omega+1} $

$ \boldsymbol{\chi}(\omega)=\frac{1}{j\omega+1} $
