This specific question is asking to find the values of $k$ such that the function is a density function.
$$f(x,y)=begincasesk(1-y) &text if 0<x<y<1, \ 0 &text otherwise. endcases$$
Essentially, I know the essence of the problem will be integrating and then equating to $1$ etc., what I am having trouble with is however setting the limits of the double integral. I understand that with respect to y, the limits would be between $1$ and $x$, however it confuses me that $x_1$ is set between $1$ and $0$, rather than $y$ and $0$.
Thanks!
