hello i have this problem about polar form, i am aware that when you have a problem like [tex]\int\int[/tex] x^2 + y^2 dxdy you use r^2 = x^2 + y^2 but i what would you do if you had a problem like [tex]\int\int[/tex] xy dxdy?

thanks in advance.

edit: i know the limits if you need them please let me know but i was more interested in the concept behind it
 
on Phys.org
If you have,
[tex]\iint_R xy \ dA[/tex] then since [tex]x=r\cos \phi[/tex] and [tex]y = r\sin \phi[/tex] it means, [tex]xy = r^2 \sin \phi \cos \phi = \frac{1}{2} r^2 \sin (2\phi)[/tex].
 
so you would just integrate 1/2r^2sin(2(teta)
 
No you also have to remember the factor of [tex]r[/tex] whichs appears in the Jacobian.
