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

In summary, to graph u= 1, u= 2, uv= 1, and uv= 2 in Desmos, first replace u with x and v with y. Then, enter the functions x= 1, x= 2, y= 1/x, and y= 2/x. Finally, limit the axes to x and y values between 0 and 3 for a good graph. The typeset can be found at the given Desmos plot link.

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.

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

1. What is the Jacobian of a transformation?

The Jacobian of a transformation is a matrix that represents the rate of change of a transformation at a specific point. It is important in determining how a change in one set of variables affects the other set of variables in a transformation.

2. How is the Jacobian of a transformation calculated?

The Jacobian of a transformation is calculated by taking the partial derivatives of the transformation equations with respect to each variable, and then arranging them in a matrix. For the transformation T:x=u, y=uv, the Jacobian would be:

3. What is the significance of the Jacobian of a transformation?

The Jacobian of a transformation is significant because it determines whether a transformation is invertible and whether it preserves the orientation of points in space. It is also used in calculating volumes and areas in multivariable calculus.

4. How does the Jacobian of a transformation affect the shape of a graph?

The Jacobian of a transformation affects the shape of a graph by determining how much a small change in one variable affects the other variables. It can stretch or compress the graph in different directions, depending on the values of the Jacobian matrix at a particular point.

5. Can the Jacobian of a transformation be negative?

Yes, the Jacobian of a transformation can be negative. This can occur when the transformation changes the orientation of points in space, such as reflecting or rotating a graph. In these cases, the Jacobian will have a negative determinant, indicating a change in orientation.
