I am currently dealing with the joint density function of continuous random variables.
Here's the following piece-wise function I'm working on:
$$f(x,y)= \begin{cases} 24x & \text{if } 0 \le y \le 1-2x \text{ and } 0 \le x \le .5 \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$
Support of this pdf (not to scale):
How could I rearrange the bounds so that I could satisfy all of the y values in terms of x for the marginal PDF of random variable X?
The domain of interest is a triangle bounded by the $x$-axis, $y$-axis and the line $y=1-2x$.
Look at the what values does $y$ value take over the region. I will leave it as an exercise to figure out the two numbers, $c_1$ and $c_2$.
Once we fix the value of $y$, notice that $x$ can take any value between $0$ and $x=\frac{1-y}2$.
Hence $0 \le x \le \frac{1-y}2$ and $c_1 \le y \le c_2$,
