Simple Joint density

Let \(X\) and \(Y\) have joint density

\[ f(x,y) = c e^{-2x -3 y} \quad (x,y>0)\]

for some \(c>0\) and \(f(x,y)=0\) otherwise. find:

  1. the correct value of \(c\).
  2. \(P( X \leq x, Y \leq y)\)
  3. \(f_X(x)\)
  4. \(f_Y(y)\)
  5. Are \(X\) and \(Y\) independent ? Explain your reasoning ?
