The integral provided in the image is:  
\[
\int_0^\infty \frac{\cos(xw) + w \sin(xw)}{1 + w^2} \, dw
\]
and the result is given piecewise depending on the value of \(x\):
\[
\begin{cases} 
0 & \text{if } x < 0, \\
\frac{\pi}{2} & \text{if } x = 0, \\
\pi e^{-\lvert x \rvert} & \text{if } x > 0.
\end{cases}
\]

### Approach:

This problem is solved using the **Fourier transform** representation and properties. Let's break it down step by step:

---

1. **Fourier Transform Setup**  
   The denominator \(1 + w^2\) suggests the Fourier transform of \(e^{-|x|}\), which can simplify the integral using standard results. Specifically:
   \[
   \mathcal{F}\left(e^{-|t|}\right) = \frac{1}{1 + \omega^2}.
   \]
   This connection helps us evaluate the integral.

2. **Integral Decomposition**  
   The numerator, \(\cos(xw) + w\sin(xw)\), can be expressed using Euler's formula:
   \[
   \cos(xw) + w\sin(xw) = \Re\left[e^{ixw}(1 + iw)\right].
   \]
   Substituting this into the integral and using properties of the Fourier transform leads to solving the integral in terms of \(x\).

3. **Piecewise Behavior**  
   For \(x = 0\), the integral simplifies directly to \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).  
   For \(x > 0\), the decay factor \(e^{-|x|}\) appears naturally from the Fourier transform of \(e^{-|t|}\).  
   For \(x < 0\), symmetry and boundary properties of the Fourier transform result in the integral evaluating to zero.

4. **Conclusion**  
   This matches the given result:
   \[
   \int_0^\infty \frac{\cos(xw) + w \sin(xw)}{1 + w^2} \, dw =
   \begin{cases} 
   0 & \text{if } x < 0, \\
   \frac{\pi}{2} & \text{if } x = 0, \\
   \pi e^{-\lvert x \rvert} & \text{if } x > 0.
   \end{cases}
   \]
