+By continuity, $X$ has a density function, so
+$$\E(X) = \int_0^\infty xf_X(x) dx =
+x(F_X(x)-1)\big|_0^\infty - \int_0^\infty (F_X(x)-1) dx,$$
+by integration by parts.
+Because $xF_X(x)|_0^\infty = 0,$ (since $\Pr(X\leq\infty)-1 = 0.$)
+$$\E(X) = \int_0^\infty 1-F_X(x)dx.$$
+
\q9
+$$F_{X'}(x) = \bigg\{\align{
+ F_X(x)&\hbox{if }x<a,\cr
+ 1&\hbox{if }x\geq a.\cr}$$
+
+For $x\leq a,$ the distribution function is the same because the
+$X' \leq x$ when $X\leq x.$ For $x\geq a,$ $\Pr(X'\leq x)
+= \Pr(X<a) + \Pr(X\geq a) = 1.$
\q10
+$$f_X(x) = \bigg\{\align{
+ e^{-x}&\hbox{if }x>0,\cr
+ 0&\hbox{if }x\leq0.\cr}$$
+$$Y = (X-2)/(X+1) \to YX+Y = X-2 \to (Y-1)X = -(2+Y)
+\to X = -(2+Y)/(Y-1).$$
+$$dX/dY = -{3\over(Y-1)^2}.$$
+By 5.52, since $g(x)$ is strictly decreasing,
+$$\align{f_Y(y)&=&-f_X\left(-{2+y\over y-1}\right)
+ \left(-{3\over(y-1)^2}\right)\hfill\cr
+ &=&\bigg\{\align{
+ e^{2+y\over y-1}{3\over(y-1)^2}&-2<y<1.\cr
+ 0&{\rm otherwise.}\cr}\hfill\cr}$$
+Note that this bound is true because ${2+y\over y-1}\in(0,\infty)\iff
+y\in(-2,1).$
+
\q14
+$$f_X(x) = \bigg\{\align{
+ 1&x\in[0,1],\cr
+ 0&{\rm otherwise}.\cr}$$
+By theorem 5.50, with $Y = g(X) = {3X\over 1-X} \to 3X-Y(1-X) = 3X+YX-Y
+= 0 \to X = {Y\over 3+Y},$ (note that $g(x)$ is strictly decreasing on
+$(0,\infty).$)
+$$f_Y(y) = -f_X(g^{-1}(y))[g^{-1}]'(y) =
+f_X\left({y\over 3+y}\right){3\over(3+y)^2} = \bigg\{\align{
+ {3\over(3+y)^2}&y>0,\cr
+ \hfil 0&{\rm otherwise}.\cr}$$
