To find the moment generating function (MGF) of the given probability density function (PDF) for $ X $, we start by recalling that the moment generating function is defined as: \[ M_X(t) = \mathbb{E}[e^{tX}] = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{tx} f(x) \, dx \] Given the PDF: \[ f(x) = \begin{cases} x e^{-x}, & x > 0 \\ 0, & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} \] We need to compute the MGF for $ t $, where $ t $ is any real number. Since the density is defined for $ x > 0 $, the integral reduces to: \[ M_X(t) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{tx} x e^{-x} \, dx \] This simplifies to: \[ M_X(t)
