Q:Explain why there can be no random variable for which $M_x(t)=\frac{t}{t-1}$
($M_x(t)$ is the moment-generating function of the random variable $x$.)
A: I tried differentiating it twice and got mean of $x=1$ and variance of $x=1$ which seems fine. Maybe its because $M_x(0)$ is not equal to $1$?Thanks in advance for any help with this problem.
