Question

I don't understand why the four transform F{(a/sqrt(pi))*e^-a^2*x^2)}=e^-alpha^2/4a^2. Can you please explain it to me . Thank you 

### Claim

\[
\sqrt{ \frac{e^{-\frac{x^2}{4kt}}}{2\pi kt} } = e^{-k v^2 t}
\]

### Reason:

- **We Know**

\[
\sqrt{ \frac{a}{\pi} e^{-a^2 x^2} } = e^{-\frac{v^2}{4a^2}}
\]

- **Set** 

\[ 
kt = \frac{1}{4a^2}
\]

Therefore,

\[ 
a^2 = \frac{1}{4kt}, \quad a = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{kt}}
\]
