Statistics probability distribution function?

given F(x,y)=K(X^2)(Y^2)

0<=x<=1, 0<=y<=1

find value of K for this to be a valid distribution function?

Anyone know how to do this? I have only found constant values in a density function before.

Thanks for any responses in advance.

    Find K such that F(x,y)=K(x^2)(y^2) = 1 for x=1 and y=1.

    And so, K=1.

    i have forgotten each little thing I ever knew about mgf's, yet judging from what you've written, does no longer that only be a binomial distribution with p = .6 and n = 3, with a advise of one million.8 and a variance of .seventy 2? Or am I undrthinking this? i imagine you dropped an exponent marker some cases, yet no longer positive.
