= Solution

Differentiate under the <Fourier transform> <integral>:
$$
\frac{d^n\widetilde f}{dk^n}=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}(-ix)^nf(x)e^{-ikx}\,dx=(-i)^n\widetilde g(k).
$$
Hence the <Fourier transform of a polynomial multiple> is
$$
\boxed{\widetilde g(k)=i^n\frac{d^n\widetilde f(k)}{dk^n}.}
$$
Absolute integrability of the required moments justifies differentiation under the <integral>. The identity also extends to <tempered distributions>.
