Let X and Y be jointly continuous with joint probability density function f(x, y) and marginal densities fX(x) and fY(y). Suppose that f(x, y) = g(x)h(y) where g(x) is a function of x alone, h(y) is a function of y alone, and both g(x) and h(y) are nonnegative. a) Show that there exists a positive constant c such that fX(x) = cg(x) and fY(y) = (1/c)h(y). b) Use part (a) to show that X and Y are independent.
