U substitution and integration

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around evaluating a double integral using the substitution method, specifically with the variables u = x + y and v = y - 2x. The integral in question is defined over a specific region in the xy-plane.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the necessity of performing a change of variables as instructed. There are attempts to express the integral in LaTeX for clarity. The Jacobian of the transformation is calculated, and questions arise regarding its relevance to the problem. Additionally, there are mentions of needing to adjust the limits of integration and sketching the region of integration.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring the implications of the Jacobian and the transformation of variables. Some guidance has been provided regarding the need to change the limits of integration and sketch the regions involved, but no consensus has been reached on the complete approach to the problem.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the use of integration tables and express difficulty in matching the integral's format to known forms. There is an emphasis on the importance of the Jacobian in the context of changing variables.

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:
[tex]\int^{1}_{0} \int^{1-x}_{0} \sqrt{x+y} (y-2x)^2\,dy\,dx[/tex]
Also, the Jacobian of the transformation you are trying to perform is
[tex]\begin{vmatrix}<br /> 1 & 1 \\<br /> -2 & 1<br /> \end{vmatrix}[/tex]
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, [itex]\displaystyle \int^{1}_{0} \int^{1-x}_{0} \left(\sqrt{x+y\ }\, (y-2x)^2\right)\,dy\,dx\,,\[/itex] in the xy-plane. Then convert that to the corresponding region in the uv-plane.
