∫∫9(x + y) e^(x2 − y2) dA, where R is the rectangle enclosed by the lines x−y=0, x−y=10, x+y=0, and x+y=5

Relevant Equations:

The Jacobian: ∂(x,y)/∂(u,v)

The attempt at a solution:

I began by making u=x+y and v=x^2-y^2

So, u=0 and u=5, but I don't know what to do with the x-y line segments.

Why not try u=x+y, v=x-y? Seems simpler to me.
 
Wow, I just realized how much more sense that makes. Thank you.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
