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.

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?
 
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
 
Try \displaystyle u=x^{3/2}+y^{3/2} \,,\ and \displaystyle v=x^{3/2}-y^{3/2} \,,\

You may have to do some tweaking on this.
 
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...
