What is $p(x)dx$

101 Views Asked by At

I was playing with an equation using what I think it is called "infinitesimal calculus" and I arrived at this equation form:

$$ f(t) = g(x)p_t(x)dx $$

where $f(t)$ and $p_t(x)$ are both probability density functions.

I don't know how to deal with it or how to get rid of it rather.

I thought

$$ p_t(x)dx = P_t(x + dx) - P_t(x) $$

where $P_t(x)$ is the cumulative function. This gives me the wrong answer.

Any advice?

Edit

So based on some really good comments - I checked my math and I realized that

$$f(t) \neq h(t)dt$$
