This distribution is χ 2 with v = 2. So both our random variables have m ( t ) = ( 1 2 t ) 1 / 2 , t < 1 2 Note that when U=A+B where A and B are independent random variables we get m U ( t ) = m a ( t ) m B ( t ) By this logic we get
m U ( t ) = ( 1 w t ) 1
Note that this is the moment generating function for an exponential random variable with λ = 1 2 . So we get the following density function.
f U ( u ) = 1 2 e u / 2 , u 0
