SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on converting the limits of a double integral from Cartesian coordinates (x-y) to new variables (u-v) defined by the transformations u=2x-y and v=2x+y. The original limits for y were 0 to 5 and for x were defined by the inequalities 0 ≤ y ≤ x ≤ 5. The challenge arises in accurately translating these limits into the new u-v coordinate system, which requires a combined inequality approach to ensure proper conversion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of double integrals and their limits
  • Familiarity with coordinate transformations
  • Knowledge of the Jacobian determinant for variable substitution
  • Basic proficiency in inequalities and their graphical representation
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the process of converting Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates
  • Learn about the Jacobian in detail, particularly in the context of multiple integrals
  • Explore examples of changing limits in double integrals with variable transformations
  • Investigate the graphical interpretation of inequalities in the context of integration
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students studying calculus, and anyone involved in multivariable calculus who needs to understand variable transformations in double integrals.

i don't think that the integral is needed to answer this question .the integral is in dxdy .(w.r.t to x and w.r.t y)
and i have to replace x and y variable by u and v variables where
u=2x-y and v=2x+y
i used Jacobian and transfer dxdy into dudy .but the problem rises when i have to put limits of the integral
in the original problem the Y limits were 0 to 5 and X limits were Y=0 to Y=X ...

im finding it difficult to convert those limits into U and V Cartesian plane .i think it will not necessary to supply the problem as it is not needed here ...can anybody help me?

Hi rclakmal! :wink:

Hint: in these problems, write the limits as a combined inequality

0 ≤ y ≤ x ≤ 5 (or is it 0 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ 5 ? … I'm confused :confused:),

and then convert that into u and v :smile:
