The requested bounds are and , both within the support. Since the probability distribution is continuous, endpoints have zero probability, and subtraction of the cumulative distribution function gives
This leaves the answer in rational fractions as requested.
The expected value is
The second moment is . Hence the variance and standard deviation are
At the mode, the cumulative distribution function has value
Since is strictly increasing on , its unique crossing of occurs earlier. Therefore the median is less than the mode.
The interior stationary point of the probability density function solves with , giving . The sign change of established in part (d), together with zero endpoint values, makes this the global maximum. Thus
The probability density function is zero outside . Inside that interval, it rises from , reaches its only interior maximum at , and falls to . The derivative is
positive for and negative for . Its maximum height is . The second panel of the figure in part (b) shows the function graph on the requested full range, with this mode marked.
The full cumulative distribution function is
Thus the function graph is horizontal at zero for , rises continuously from to , and is horizontal at one for . Its derivative is positive on and zero at both endpoints. The second derivative changes sign at , giving an inflection point there.

Factor the leading term out of the Maclaurin series for the sine:
The binomial theorem gives, through degree four inside the bracket,
The coefficient of is . Multiplying back by yields
Put . Since , the outer Taylor series requires and . Therefore
Both logarithms are defined on a neighbourhood of zero, so this composition of power series is valid there.
The Maclaurin series , applied with and then multiplied by , gives
These are the first three nonzero terms. The remainder is written in Big O notation.
The chain rule expresses the coordinate differential operators as
The coefficients are constant, so a second application gives
and
Adding cancels the mixed partial derivatives, and gives
The transformation has rotation matrix , so this identity expresses the rotational invariance of the Laplacian.
Let . The product rule and the chain rule give the partial derivatives
Hence the terms containing cancel:
This also follows from the Euler theorem for homogeneous functions, because for .
The stated total differential is that of , so . The zero-volume condition gives . For positive , divide the total differential by this volume to obtain
For the specified small changes, , so the volume increases by approximately . The fractional expression requires ; at a degenerate zero-volume state it is undefined. For finite changes, the exact multiplier is , whose difference from is ; the total differential gives its first-order approximation.
For an exact differential form, equality of the mixed partial derivatives requires . Here
Equality for all and real forces , so . To construct the potential, integrate with respect to :
Differentiation with respect to gives , so . Thus the most general potential on the connected domain is
Its explicit partial derivatives verify sufficiency as well as necessity.
For this first-order linear differential equation, an integrating factor on an interval avoiding zeros of is . The product rule then gives
The initial condition gives , hence . Thus
The displayed interval is the maximal one containing the specified initial point, since the coefficient is undefined at its endpoints.
