If X and Y are independent gamma random variables with parameters $(\alpha,\lambda)$ and $(\beta,\lambda)$, respectively, compute the joint density of U=X+Y and $V=\frac{X}{X+Y}$ without using Jacobian transformation.
Hint:The joint density function can be obtained by differentiating the following equation with respect to u and v.
$P(U\leq u, V\leq v)=\iint_{(x,y):-(x+y)\leq u,\frac{x}{x+y}\leq v} f_{X,Y} (x,y) dx dy$
Now how to differentiate the above equation with respect to u and v?
