How does one show that the inverse Fourier transform of e^-a|y|, a>0 is
(a/pi)*1/(x^2+a^2)
thanks!

Have you considered the definition of the Transform?
Yes, but I'm confused about how to integrate e^-a|y|*e^-iyx to get that answer
I would probably use the equation
and then split up your integral into two pieces depending on which of the two cases is applicable.
