Can you help me with this problem because I am totally confused by it, can you please do this problem step by step and can you label the parts as well.

4.1-1 For each of the following functions, determine the constant c so that f(x, y) satisfies
the conditions of being a joint pmf for two discrete random variables X and Y:
a. f(x, y) = c(x + 2y),
b. f(x, y) = c(x + y),
x = 1, 2, y = 1, 2, 3.
x = 1, 2, 3, y = 1,...,x.
