btw, to get the same result with Mathematica FourierTransform
need to use FourierParameters -> {1, -1}, like this:

---------------------------
ClearAll[t, w, k]
f = (t - 5)^2*Exp[-(t - 5)^2];
res = FourierTransform[f, t, w, FourierParameters -> {1, -1}];
Plot[{Re[res], Im[res]}, {w, -5, 5}]
--------------------------
