I need to find out how to solve this integral with the indicated changes/transformations.

int.[0 to 2/3]int[y to 2-2y]
(x+2y)e^(y-x)
dxdy

u=x+2y v=x-y

I know that the xy region is x=y y=0 and y=1- (x/2)
which is a triangle

so I created systems with U and V but can't get a new bounded region...

I just get u=v and two other lines that intersect at the origin.
If anyone can tell me what's up with this it would be helpfull.

Also, does it seem weird that my given v doesn't match the problem exactly?
the u and v were given changes.

What does the region look like in the xy-coordinate system?

One line is y= x. If v= x- y, what is v on that line? Another line is y= 1- (1/2)x or 2y= 2- x so x+ 2y= 2. What is u on that line? Finally, the third line is y= 0. In that case, u= x and v= x so y= 0 corresponds to the line u= v. What does that look like in the uv-coordinate system?

Thanks

Thanks, that put me back on track!
 
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...
