The symbol delta(k) (f(x)) for an infinitely differentiable function f having a simple root is meaningless in the theory of Schwartz distributions. In this work we first of all give meaning to the symbol delta(k) (f(x)) via neutrix calculus due to van der Corput (J Anal Math 7: 291-398, 1959). Then we consider the case that f is the s-th power of a function g(x) having a simple single root and the particular case delta(k) (x(+)(lambda)) for lambda > 0, k is an element of N. Finally we also give meaning to the symbols H(delta(k)), H-(r)(delta(k)), delta((r))(delta(k)) and G(delta(k)), where H denotes the Heaviside function and G is a bounded continuous summable function on R.
