= Squared uniform distribution
{title2=$f_X(x)=1/(2\sqrt{x}),\quad0<x<1$}

The square of a <uniform distribution> variable on $(0,1)$ has <cumulative distribution function> $\sqrt{x}$ and an integrable inverse-square-root <probability density function>. Reflection replaces $x$ by $1-x$ in that density.
