(a) the agrea of the triangleses is 1, so γ one.

(b) I'm not sure how to prove. i feel like ##X## and ##Y## are dependent because ##E(Y|X=0)=\frac{1}{2}## and ##E(Y|X=1)=0## so ##Y## seems dependent on ##X##. ##f_X=1-x## for ##x>0## ane ##f_X=1+x## for ##x<0## so X seems independent on Y.

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
