The conditional density gives
using either integration by parts or the expected value of an exponential distribution. Hence
This is a finite value for almost every realization of , but not an integrable random variable: . Since , its conditional expectation remains well-defined in the nonnegative, extended-expectation sense; the tower property of conditional expectation then gives .
Integrate the joint probability density over to obtain the marginal density of :
Thus has an exponential distribution of rate one. Dividing the joint probability density by this marginal density gives the conditional density
Equivalently, has an exponential distribution of rate . The value at can be assigned arbitrarily: it is a probability-zero conditioning value and the density ratio there is not meaningful.
