Double Integral Limits for Triangular Region

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the correct limits for a double integral over a triangular region defined by the vertices (0,0), (0,2), and (1,1). The function to be integrated is (x+y)^2 * sin(x^2 - y^2). The transformation used is x = (u+v)/2 and y = (v-u)/2. Participants explore the boundaries defined by the lines x=0, y=x, and y=1-x, ultimately seeking clarity on how to set the limits for the double integral.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of double integrals in calculus

Homework Statement


function inside is (x+y)^2 * sin(x^2 - y^2)
R is the triangular region w/ vertices (0,0) , (0,2) , (1,1)

x = (u+v)/2
y = (v-u)/2

What are the correct limits ??

The Attempt at a Solution


Also, when plugging in x and y in the function, i ended up getting (v^2)*(sin(uv)). is that right? for the limits, i have no idea, all my attempts failed =/

There are three boundary lines, x= 0, from (0, 0) to (0, 2), y= x, from (0, 0) to (1, 1), and y= 1- x, from (0, 2) to (1, 1). x= (u+ v)/2= 0 gives u+ v= 0 so v= -u. y= x gives (v- u)/2= (u+ v)/2 so ...
