Solution

No, X and Y are not independent.

The reason is that the joint pdf fXY(x,y) cannot be factored into the product of two functions, each depending only on x and y respectively. If X and Y were independent, we would have fXY(x,y) = fX(x) * fY(y), which is not the case here. Therefore, X and Y are dependent.
