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}<br /> {{1 - {{(xy)}^2}}}dxdy}[/itex]

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I've already computed the Jacobian:

[itex]\frac{{\partial (x,y)}}<br /> {{\partial (u,v)}} = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}<br /> {\frac{{\partial x}}<br /> {{\partial u}}} & {\frac{{\partial x}}<br /> {{\partial v}}} \\<br /> {\frac{{\partial y}}<br /> {{\partial u}}} & {\frac{{\partial y}}<br /> {{\partial v}}} \\<br /> <br /> \end{array} } \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}<br /> {\frac{{\cos u}}<br /> {{\cos v}}} & {\frac{{\sin u\sin v}}<br /> {{{{\cos }^2}v}}} \\<br /> {\frac{{\sin u\sin v}}<br /> {{{{\cos }^2}u}}} & {\frac{{\cos v}}<br /> {{\cos u}}} \\<br /> <br /> \end{array} } \right| = 1 - {\left( {\frac{{\sin u\sin v}}<br /> {{\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.
