rite I've got limits of 0<x<pi/2 and x-pi<y<x

with u=x-y, v=x+y

with a transformation from f(x,y) to f(u,v) which isn't really needed for what I am about to ask

i get he jacobian as 1/2
then get y=(v-u)/2 and x=(u+v)/2 all of which i know is right as i have the answers, this is purely revision
then when changing the limits i get every step until the last one which are
0<x<pi/2
0<(u+v)/2<pi/2
0<u+v<pi
-u<v<pi-u
0<u<pi<<<<<<<<<<<where does that come from
 
Physics news on Phys.org
similarly x-pi<y<x
(u+v)/2-pi<v-u<(u+v)/2
-2pi<-2u<0
-u<v<pi-u
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
