How to Convert Limits of Double Integral from x-y to u-v Variables?

To convert the limits of a double integral from x-y to u-v variables, it's essential to first express the original limits as a combined inequality. The original limits are given as 0 ≤ y ≤ 5 and y ≤ x, which need to be reformulated in terms of u and v, where u=2x-y and v=2x+y. The Jacobian method can be applied to transform dxdy into dudy, but the challenge lies in accurately determining the new limits for the u-v plane. A suggested approach is to clarify the combined inequalities before proceeding with the conversion. Understanding these relationships is crucial for successfully completing the integral transformation.

i don't think that the integral is needed to answer this question .the integral is in dxdy .(w.r.t to x and w.r.t y)
and i have to replace x and y variable by u and v variables where
u=2x-y and v=2x+y
i used Jacobian and transfer dxdy into dudy .but the problem rises when i have to put limits of the integral
in the original problem the Y limits were 0 to 5 and X limits were Y=0 to Y=X ...

im finding it difficult to convert those limits into U and V Cartesian plane .i think it will not necessary to supply the problem as it is not needed here ...can anybody help me?

Hi rclakmal! :wink:

Hint: in these problems, write the limits as a combined inequality

0 ≤ y ≤ x ≤ 5 (or is it 0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ 5 ? … I'm confused :confused:),

and then convert that into u and v :smile:
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
