Homework Statement


Make the appropriate change of variables and evaluate [tex]\int\int _R\(sin(9x^2+4y^2)}\;dA[/tex]


Homework Equations



R is bounded by the ellipse [tex]9x^2+4y^2=1[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



I can't figure out what the substitution should be I tried u=9x^2 and v=4y^2 and that didn't work and I don't know where to go from here.

How about u=3x and v=2y? Then switch to polar coordinates in u and v.
