Double integrals + Change of variables

Ok, i have a problem with this double integral. I am having a hard time finding the limits. The question is

Evaluate
<br /> \iint \frac{dx\,dy}{\sqrt{1+x+2y}}\<br />

D = [0,1] x [0,1], by setting T(u,v) = (u, v/2) and evaluating the integral over D*, where T(D*)=D

Can some one help me find the limits, and explain the process of getting those limits.

Thanks in advance

Are you REQUIRED to do that change of variables?
You could integrate it directly..
 
Yes, because there are some problems which say evaluate the integral with change of variable but then check it by using an iterated integral. So the answer is yes, i have go use change of variable, and even though i don't need to use it was to get practice at it.

Thanks
 
anybody?

Somebody is always here but not your wishing somebody.
Can you find the integration (to x variable) of 1/root(a+x) ?
 
I THINK what you are saying is that you want to use the substitution u= x, v= 2y.
Of course, du= dx and dv= 2dy or dy= (1/2)dv.

In terms of u and v, the integral becomes
\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{du\,dv}{\sqrt{1+u+v}}

The only problem now is finding D*. The boundaries of D are x= 0, x= 1, y= 0, y= 1.
Okay, when x= 0 what is u? When x= 1, what is u? When y= 0, what is v? When y= 1, what is v? That gives you D* and the limits of integration.
 
Oh well, sorry for my bad English, I didn't read the whole OP and thought he didn't know how to solve it, but he should say the same as you did anyway, I know that for certain :biggrin:

I thought about the problem a little harder and i did the same exact thing you did, so thanks for your help.
 
What is the non-graphing method to find the new limits ? Someone please,,,,,...!
