My Math Forum Joint distribution of gammas

Is there any quick way to find it? Since they're independent? I know the joint will be the product of the marginals. Will the marginals just be the pdf of X and Y? If I'm not being clear, im asking if I can just multiply two gammas?

$\text{independence} \Rightarrow \text{joint distribution is the product of the marginals}$

so yes, just multiply the two gamma distributions
