Convert a region into a rectangle

In summary, the conversation discusses how to express the region bounded by x^3/2+y^3/2=a^3/2 and the coordinate axes as a double integral over a rectangle. The participants mention trying various approaches, such as finding u and v, but have not been successful in finding the correct solution. One suggestion is to try u=x^{3/2}+y^{3/2} and v=x^{3/2}-y^{3/2}, but there may be some tweaking necessary.

Homework Statement



Let R be the region bounded by x^3/2+y^3/2=a^3/2 (x>0, y>0) and the coordinate axes x=0, y=0. Express it in double integral over a rectangle.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



How to solve this people please?

I tried a couples time but failed to find v u which is essential to solving this problem as all we have to do is find ∂(u,v)/∂(x,y)

cheers

What specifically have you tried?
 
  • #3
let u=y/(a^1.5-x^1.5)^2/3 and v=x/(a^1.5-y^1.5)^2/3
got 0 for this
let u=y/(a^1.5-x^1.5)^2/3 and v=x/y this got really nasty
so i just don't know the trick of findin proper v and u
 
  • #4
Try [itex]\displaystyle u=x^{3/2}+y^{3/2} \,,\ [/itex] and [itex]\displaystyle v=x^{3/2}-y^{3/2} \,,\ [/itex]

You may have to do some tweaking on this.
 

Related to Convert a region into a rectangle

1. Can any region be converted into a rectangle?

Yes, any region can be converted into a rectangle as long as it is a two-dimensional shape with four sides.

2. How can a region be converted into a rectangle?

A region can be converted into a rectangle by finding the maximum and minimum values of its x and y coordinates and using those values to create the four sides of a rectangle.

3. What is the purpose of converting a region into a rectangle?

Converting a region into a rectangle can make it easier to calculate its area and perimeter, as well as perform other geometric calculations.

4. Are there any limitations to converting a region into a rectangle?

One limitation is that the resulting rectangle may not accurately represent the original shape of the region, especially if the region is irregular or contains curved edges.

5. Can a region be converted into a rectangle in any orientation?

Yes, a region can be converted into a rectangle in any orientation as long as the resulting rectangle is still a valid representation of the original region.
