I would like to add a relevant information (someone may look for it):

-----------------

A more general problem has been solved here, for 1/(1+cx^n) and 1/(1+cx)^n, for any n:
http://www.pnas.org/content/107/51/22096.full.pdf+html?with-ds=yes

You can find there the explicit formula for the probability density function, the monotonicity properties of the pdf, the first and second moments for n=1 and n=2.

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
