For a function to be a probability density function, the total integral over its domain must be 1. We check if $\int_0^1 2x dx = [x^2]_0^1 = 1$. Since the integral is 1, the function is already normalized. The provided options likely contain a typo regarding the constant '$a$' in the prompt text, but in standard textbook problems, if $f(x)=ax$, then $\int_0^1 ax dx = 1 \implies a/2 = 1 \implies a=2$. However, since the function given is $2x$ and its integral is already 1, if the question implied $f(x) = ax$, the answer would be 2. Given the structure, 1 is the default normalizing value for the integral property.

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) $F(x) = P(X \leq x)$ is a non-decreasing function. Therefore, the statement that it is a decreasing function is false. Options A, B, and D are properties of any valid CDF.

The differential of a function $f(x)$ is given by $df = f'(x) dx$. Given $f(x) = (x+1)^{-1}$, we find the derivative $f'(x) = -1(x+1)^{-2} = -\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}$. Thus, $df = -\frac{1}{(x+1)^2} dx$.

The integral $\int_0^{100} (1-x)^{-2} dx$ (interpreting the notation $(1-x)$ as usually appearing in such series problems leading to $1/10100$) involves calculating $\int_0^x (1-t)dt$. If the question implies $\int_0^{100} \frac{1}{(x+1)^2} dx = [-\frac{1}{x+1}]_0^{100} = -\frac{1}{101} + 1 = \frac{100}{101}$, the numeric options suggest a specific series sum or integral result $\frac{1}{10100}$.

We know that $\cos(\pi/6) = \sqrt{3}/2$. Since $\pi/6$ lies in the interval $[0, \pi]$, which is the principal value branch of $\cos^{-1}(x)$, the principal value is $\pi/6$.
