You may need to ask the University to open up the resource?

Ah okay, how can I make it so you can see the questions? Printscreening doesn't work.

I have tried print screening the question and attaching them as an image but neither of those things worked

What doesn;t work specifically. Do you save the screenshots or snapshots as images, then upload or, ... Can you upload to a different image site or ...

I press the print screen button then paste. Nothing comes up. I do the "insert image via url" with the printscreen I took but nothing shows up.

Well try saving the image first then upload that file.

I will copy and paste the questions one at a time.

Q5) Let X and Y be independent uniform(0,1) random variables.
(a) Find the joint density of U = X, V = X + Y .
(b) Find the marginal density of V .


Where do I begin?

They're tutorial questions, so what do you understand / what are you confused about?

I understand the first line. "Joint density" could mean lots of things e.g. joint pdf, joint cdf, etc. The solutions have a "Jacobi matrix" but nowhere has it been explained what this does,why it is there or where it comes from.
I also don't know what marginal density is. It could be one of two things but it doesn't say in the question whether we have discrete or continuous data.

You should have come context (notes) for the tutorial.
I presume its the joint pdf.
The marginal density is p(V) which you get from the "margin" of the joint pdf. Its easy enough to get for this question, but using the jacobian

for instance. There are many other examples
