Jacobian of the transformation T:x=u, y=uv

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on graphing the transformation T defined by the equations u = x and v = y in Desmos. Users are guided to graph the lines u = 1 and u = 2, as well as the hyperbolas defined by uv = 1 and uv = 2. The correct approach involves substituting u with x and v with y, leading to the functions x = 1, x = 2, y = 1/x, and y = 2/x. The axes are limited to the range of 0 to 3 for optimal visualization.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of graphing functions in Desmos
  • Familiarity with the concept of transformations in mathematics
  • Knowledge of hyperbolas and their equations
  • Basic algebraic manipulation skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to graph parametric equations in Desmos
  • Explore the properties of hyperbolas and their applications
  • Investigate the use of transformations in coordinate geometry
  • Practice solving equations involving multiple variables
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and anyone interested in visualizing mathematical transformations and hyperbolas using Desmos.

how do you graph this in Desmos ?

Assume the rest of the calculation is correct

much thank you ahead...:cool:

Do you mean how to use Desmos to graph u= 1, u= 2, uv= 1, and uv= 2?

First, of course, Desmos graphs either y= f(x) or x= g(y) so you have to replace u with x and v with y and solve xy= 1 and xy= 2 for y (or x). that is, enter the functions x= 1, x= 2, y= 1/x, and y= 2/x. I limited the axes to that x and y were between 0 and 3 to get a good graph.
