Homework Statement


Let X and Y be independent uniform (0,1) random variables.

a. find th ejoint density of U=X, V=X+Y.

b. compute the density funciton of V.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



Part a. is not a problem. I don't understand how the bounds for part b. are set up. The book says: for 0<V<1, fv(v)=[tex]\int_{o}^{v}[/tex]du
and for 1[tex]\leq[/tex]v[tex]\leq[/tex] 2: [tex]\int_{v-1}^{1}[/tex]du

Could someone explain this to me?
