Homework Statement


The question was way too long so i took a snap shot of it

The Attempt at a Solution


So for question A I've done what the question said:

so g(x)^2 :

[tex]= 1/(\sqrt(2\pi)\delta)^2\iint\exp(-(x^2+y^2)/2\delta^2) dxdy[/tex]
so i simplified to:
[tex]1/(\sqrt(2\pi)\delta)^2\iint\exp(-(r^2)/2\delta^2) rdrd\theta (0<\theta<2\pi) (0<r<inifity)[/tex]
so i let z= r/2\delta^2

after all that i get to

[tex]1[\exp(\infty)-\exp(0)[/tex]

its suppose to = 1, but i got -1 instead
i know it's wrong, but i don't know here, and the next 2 questions i don't have a clue how to start, can you help me?

I just added into what i did
sorry i did't know how to post mathematical equations until i looked it up before...
yeah, after that I pretty much have no clue...
Can you give me a few hints how to start the next few questions?
