Step 1
Given:
f(x,y)={cxy0<x<2,0<y<x0 other 
a. value of constant c,
020xcxydydx=1
02cx[y22]0xdx=1
c202x×x2dx=1
c2[x44]02=1
2c=1
c=12
Step 2
b.
we have given a joint pdf,
f(x,y)={cxy0<x<2,0<y<x0 other 
marginal pdf of x,
f1(x)=0xf(x,y)dy
f1(x)=0x12xydy
f1(x)=12x×(y22)0x
f1(x)={14x30<x<20 otherwise 
E(x)=02x×f1(x)dx
E(x)=02×x34dx
E(x)=14(x55)02
E(x)=85
Step 3
E(x2)=02x2×f1(x)dx
E(x2)=02x2×x
