Evaluate the integral by making the appropriate change in variables

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The integral ∫∫9(x + y) e^(x² − y²) dA can be evaluated by changing variables to u = x + y and v = x - y. This transformation simplifies the integration process, particularly within the bounds defined by the lines x - y = 0, x - y = 10, x + y = 0, and x + y = 5. The Jacobian determinant, ∂(x,y)/∂(u,v), is crucial for adjusting the area element during the variable change, ensuring accurate evaluation of the integral.

∫∫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.
