Double integral coordinate transform

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the double integral coordinate transformation using the variables u and v, defined as u = x - y and v = x + y. The user successfully converts the limits of integration, determining that u ranges from -2 to 0 and v from 2 to 4. This transformation is essential for simplifying the evaluation of double integrals in calculus. The user confirms the correctness of their limits after verification.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of double integrals in calculus
  • Familiarity with coordinate transformations
  • Knowledge of the variables x, y, u, and v

Homework Equations


transformation

The Attempt at a Solution


u = x-y
v = x+y

I convert each side in terms of u, v, get:
u = 0, u = -2
v = 2, v = 4

Correct?

Hi, yes I think will be simple... ##u## goes from ##-2## to ##0## ...
 
Okay great, my limits are correct :)
