7E
With the stated sign convention, write t=y−x to obtain
H(eiωx)(y)=πeiωy​P∫−∞∞​te−iωt​dt.
(1)
The Cauchy principal value of the cosine part vanishes by oddness, while the Dirichlet integral gives
P∫−∞∞​te−iωt​dt=−iπsgn(ω).
(2)
Thus the Hilbert transform has Fourier multiplier −isgn(ω). Taking the real part yields
H(cosωx)(y)=sgn(ω)sin(ωy)​.
