Homework Statement



use the substitution u= x+y and v=y-2x to evaluate double integral from
∫1-0∫(1−x) -(0) of (√x+y) (y−2x)^2 dydx

Homework Equations



integration tables I am assuming

The Attempt at a Solution


i tried to integrate directly but none of my integration tables match up to the format

You should do as the assignment tells you to do.

So perform the change of variables first.
 
I will write it in latex for those who want to solve it:
\int^{1}_{0} \int^{1-x}_{0} \sqrt{x+y} (y-2x)^2\,dy\,dx
Also, the Jacobian of the transformation you are trying to perform is
\begin{vmatrix}<br /> 1 &amp; 1 \\<br /> -2 &amp; 1<br /> \end{vmatrix}
What does that equal?
 
the jacobian equals 3 but how is that related to the entire problem ? :s

You need the Jacobian to change dy dx to du dv or dv du .

You will also need to change the limits of integration.

Solving the system of equations,
u= x+y

v=y-2x​

for x & y, will help you to do that.

Sketch the region of integration for the given integral, \displaystyle \int^{1}_{0} \int^{1-x}_{0} \left(\sqrt{x+y\ }\, (y-2x)^2\right)\,dy\,dx\,,\ in the xy-plane. Then convert that to the corresponding region in the uv-plane.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
