Answer #1

\text{Let's find the CDF of X first. Let }D\text{ be the domain of }X\\ \text{Because the density exists, WLOG, we can assume D is an open set.}\\ \text{Then, for }x\in D\\ P(X\leq x)=P(F^{-1}(U)\leq x)=P(U\leq F(x))=F(x)\\ \text{[Because }U\sim U(0,1)]\\ \implies X\text{ has density given by: }\\ \frac{\partial }{\partial x}P(X\leq x), x\in D\\ =\frac{\partial }{\partial x}F(x), x\in D\\ =f(x),x \in D\\ \text{Thus, }X\text{ has density }f\text{ (Proved.)}.
