Problem 4. (25%) Let X and Y be independent random variables with common probability density function, in other words $f_x(x) = \begin{cases} \exp(-x) & \text{if } x > 0\\ 0 & \text{elsewhere} \end{cases}$ $f_y(y) = \begin{cases} \exp(-y) & \text{if } y > 0\\ 0 & \text{elsewhere} \end{cases}$ Find the joint probability density function of U = X + Y and V = $e^x$.
