Hello! I have no idea with how do I even approach this probability problem. Thank you in advance..!

 

**Problem 6 (ASV 3.37):** Suppose that a random variable \( X \) has the cumulative distribution function

\[
F(x) = 
\begin{cases} 
\frac{x}{1+x}, & x \geq 0 \\
0, & x < 0 
\end{cases}
\]

(a) Find the probability density function \( f \).

(b) Calculate \( P(2 < X < 3) \).

(c) Calculate \( E[(1 + X)^2 e^{-2X}] \).
