I am supposed to show the constant of a Weibull Distribution, $k$, is a product of $\alpha$ and $\beta$.
I know $\alpha = \frac{1}{\theta}$ ($\theta$ being the probability of a success) for the Distribution becomes an exponential distribution when $\beta = 1$. But I'm still not sure how $k = \alpha\beta$. How do I show this? also, is there a specific name for this "process?"
\begin{align} \int_{0}^{+ \infty} kx^{\beta - 1}e^{-\alpha x^{\beta}} dx &= 1 \\ \Rightarrow \int_{0}^{+ \infty} x^{\beta - 1}e^{-\alpha x^{\beta}} dx &= \frac{1}{k} \\ \end{align}
and using the transformation:
$$t = x^{\beta} \Rightarrow dt = \beta x^{\beta - 1}dx$$
we have:
\begin{align} \frac{1}{k} &= \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\beta} e^{-\alpha t} dt \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\beta}{k} &= \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-\alpha t} dt \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\beta}{k} &= \left [ -\frac{1}{\alpha} e^{-\alpha t} \right ]_{0}^{\infty} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\beta}{k} &= \frac{1}{\alpha} \\ \Rightarrow k &= \alpha \beta \\ \end{align}
