# Math Help - Calc/Probablity - Getting rid of the constant

1. ## Calc/Probablity - Getting rid of the constant

I have this pdf:

$f(x,y)=\left\{
\begin{array}{lr}
\frac{8}{7}xy&0\le x\le 2;0\le y\le 1; y\le x\\
0&otherwise
\end{array}
\right.$

I want the cdf so I did this:

$F(x,y)=\frac{8}{7}\int\int xy \, dxdy = \frac{2}{7}x^2y^2+C$

I forget how to get rid of C. (0,0) is a point, and (I think) the integral is 0 at this point. Can I just use this to show that C = 0 ?

2. Is that even correct or have I not taken into account that $y \le x$ ?

3. Is this legal:

$\frac{8}{7}\int_{y}^{x}\int_{0}^{y}xy \, dydx$?

Totally lost.

4. $\frac{8}{7}\int_{0}^{x}\int_{0}^{y}uv \, dvdu = \frac{8}{7}\int_{0}^{x} \left[ \frac{v^2u}{2} \right]_{0}^{y} \, du$

$= \frac{8}{7}\int_{0}^{x}\frac{y^2u}{2} \, du = \frac{8}{7} \left[ \frac{y^2u^2}{4} \right]_{0}^{x} = \frac{8}{7}*\frac{y^2x^2}{4}$

$= \frac{2}{7}y^2x^2$

Is this the correct way of representing it? Still not sure if I've considered $y \le x$ properly...
