Could someone please convert this double integral to polar coordinates?
0<x<1, x*2<y<1 Int.Int f(x,y)dxdy
0<x<1, x*2<y<1 Int.Int f(x,y)dxdy

Polar coordinates are a type of coordinate system that uses a distance and angle to locate a point in a two-dimensional plane. The distance is measured from the origin and the angle is measured from a fixed reference direction, usually the positive x-axis.
To convert from rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar coordinates (r,θ), you can use the following formulas:
r = √(x² + y²)
θ = tan⁻¹ (y/x)
Polar coordinates are often used in situations where it is more convenient to describe a point in terms of its distance and angle from a fixed point, rather than its x and y coordinates. They are also useful for visualizing and analyzing circular or radial patterns in data.
To convert from polar coordinates (r,θ) to rectangular coordinates (x,y), you can use the following formulas:
x = r cos(θ)
y = r sin(θ)
While polar coordinates are primarily used in two-dimensional space, they can also be extended to three-dimensional space by adding a third coordinate, typically represented as z. This is known as cylindrical coordinates, and it uses the same principles as polar coordinates but adds a third dimension.
