Marginal PDF from joint PDF

$$f_{X,Y}(x,y)~=~begin{cases}2 & if &0< x < 1 ~,~ 0< y< x \[1ex] 0 & text{otherwise} end{cases}$$



Now I should calculate the marginal PDF's.



So I use integral and then I get:



$$f_X(x)~=~int_{0}^{1}2 ~mathrm dy~=2$$
$$f_Y(y)~=~int_{0}^{x}2 ~mathrm dx~=4$$



I just feel like I'm not doing this correct. So if any of you could help me and tell me what I am doing wrong and how to get the correct answer.

          Observe that $$f_{X,Y}=2mathbf1_{(0,1)}(x)mathbf1_{(0,x)}(y)$$



          For $xin(0,1)$ we get:
          $$f_X(x)=int f_{X,Y}(x,y)dy=int_0^x2dy=2x$$
          For $xnotin(0,1)$ the integrand is $0$ so then $f_X(x)=0$.



          For $yin(0,1)$ we get:
          $$f_Y(y)=int f_{X,Y}(x,y)dx=int_y^12dy=2(1-y)$$
          For $ynotin(0,1)$ the integrand is $0$ so then $f_Y(y)=0$.
