If f(x) and g(x) are two probability density functions,
\[{\text{f}}\left( {\text{x}} \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{\frac{{\text{x}}}{{\text{a}}} + 1}&:&{ - {\text{a}} \leqslant {\text{x}} < 0} \\
{ - \frac{{\text{x}}}{{\text{a}}} + 1}&:&{0 \leqslant {\text{x}} \leqslant {\text{a}}} \\
0&:&{{\text{otherwise}}}
\end{array}} \right.;\,\,{\text{g}}\left( {\text{x}} \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{ - \frac{{\text{x}}}{{\text{a}}}}&:&{ - {\text{a}} \leqslant {\text{x}} < 0} \\
{\frac{{\text{x}}}{{\text{a}}}}&:&{0 \leqslant {\text{x}} \leqslant {\text{a}}} \\
0&:&{{\text{otherwise}}}
\end{array}} \right.\]
