The equation presented in the image seems to involve joint moment generating functions (MGFs) for a bivariate random variable $(X, Y)$.

The moment generating function is given by:

$M(t_1, t_2) = \exp(t_1^2 + 2t_1t_2 - t_1t_2)$

The task seems to be asking to find the covariance $\text{Cov}(X, Y)$, which is related to the second moment of the distribution of $X$ and $Y$.

Would you like me to proceed and break down the solution? Feel free to clarify or add any questions!

Here are some related questions:

1. How do you calculate the covariance $\text{Cov}(X, Y)$ from the moment generating function (MGF)?
2. How can the marginal distribution of $X$ and $Y$ be obtained from their joint MGF?
3. What is the relationship between joint MGF and joint probability density functions (PDF)?
4. How do we compute expectations from a moment generating function?
5. How do we derive higher moments from the MGF?

Tip: When dealing with MGFs, differentiating them with respect to the respective variables helps obtain the moments of the random variables.
