Trigonometric substitution in double integral

In summary: The image of R in the uv-plane appears to be the region between the lines u = 0, u = v, v = 0, v = π/2.In summary, the problem involves evaluating an integral over the unit square R in the xy-plane using a change of variables to the uv-plane. The Jacobian has already been computed and the image of R in the uv-plane appears to be the region between the lines u = 0, u = v, v = 0, v = π/2.

Homework Statement



Let [itex]R = \{ (x,y) \in \mathbb{R^{2}}: 0<x<1, 0<y<1\}[/itex] be the unit square on the xy-plane. Use the change of variables [itex]x = \frac{{\sin u}}{{\cos v}}[/itex] and [itex]y = \frac{{\sin v}}{{\cos u}}[/itex] to evaluate the integral [itex]\iint_R {\frac{1}
{{1 - {{(xy)}^2}}}dxdy}[/itex]

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I've already computed the Jacobian:

[itex]\frac{{\partial (x,y)}}
{{\partial (u,v)}} = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{\frac{{\partial x}}
{{\partial u}}} & {\frac{{\partial x}}
{{\partial v}}} \\
{\frac{{\partial y}}
{{\partial u}}} & {\frac{{\partial y}}
{{\partial v}}} \\

\end{array} } \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{\frac{{\cos u}}
{{\cos v}}} & {\frac{{\sin u\sin v}}
{{{{\cos }^2}v}}} \\
{\frac{{\sin u\sin v}}
{{{{\cos }^2}u}}} & {\frac{{\cos v}}
{{\cos u}}} \\

\end{array} } \right| = 1 - {\left( {\frac{{\sin u\sin v}}
{{\cos u\cos v}}} \right)^2}[/itex]

Now I'm left with finding out how [itex]R[/itex] would look like in the uv-plane. Hope someone can shed some light on this, thanks!

I presume that the image of R, the unit square in x & y, is a subset of the set [itex]\displaystyle \ \left\{ (u,\,v)\left|\, 0<u<\frac{\pi}{2}\,,\ 0<v<\frac{\pi}{2}\right.\right\}\ . [/itex]

If x = 0, then u = 0 and v ≠ π/2 .

If x = 1, then u = sin-1(cos(v)) = sin-1(sin(π/2 - v)) = π/2 - v .

etc.
 

1. What is trigonometric substitution in a double integral?

Trigonometric substitution is a technique used to simplify a double integral by replacing the original variables with trigonometric functions. This allows for easier integration and evaluation of the integral.

2. When should trigonometric substitution be used in a double integral?

Trigonometric substitution should be used when the integrand (the function being integrated) contains a quadratic expression in terms of the variables.

3. How do you perform trigonometric substitution in a double integral?

To perform trigonometric substitution, the variables in the integral are replaced with trigonometric functions according to a predetermined set of rules. The choice of trigonometric function to use depends on the form of the integrand.

4. What are the common trigonometric substitutions used in double integrals?

The most commonly used trigonometric substitutions in double integrals are:

  • sinθ for √(a^2 - x^2)
  • cosθ for √(a^2 + x^2)
  • tanθ for √(x^2 - a^2)

where a is a constant and θ is a new variable.

5. What are some tips for successfully using trigonometric substitution in double integrals?

It is important to choose the appropriate trigonometric substitution based on the form of the integrand. It is also helpful to sketch a graph of the integrand and use it to determine the limits of integration. Finally, double check your substitution by taking the derivative of the trigonometric function and making sure it matches the original variable in the integral.
