Use the given transformation to evaluate the given integral, where R is the parallelogram with vertices (-2, 2), (2, -2), (4, 0), and (0, 4).

∫∫(2x+8y)dA; x=1/2(u+v) y=1/2(v-u)

I found the bounds of the parallelogram of -4≤u≤4 and 4≤v≤0


so i set the equation to be

∫∫(2(1/2(u+v))+8(1/2(v-u))dudv with the bounds been written in there

am i on the right track

Sounds good. Did you also transform the "dA"?
 
yeah i change it to dudv but the answer i got was 320 and i am not sure that is right afther doing all teh integration and plugging in what am i doing wrong?
 
changing it du dudv is not quite correct.

What you do is employ the transformation

<br /> \left(\stackrel{x}{y}\right)\mapsto\left(\stackrel{u}{v}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}1 &amp; -1 \\ 1 &amp; 1\end{array} \right)\left(\stackrel{x}{y}\right)<br />
This transformation matrix has determinant 2 so you should account for this dilatation of the area element dA:

dxdy = 2dudv

so the answer would be 640 instead of 320
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
