Question: Using the change o f variables x = u 2 - v 2 , y = 7 u v t o evaluate the integral R

Using the change of variables x=u2-v2,y=7uvto evaluate the integral RydA, where Ris the region bounded by the x-axis and the parabolas y2=7-7x and
y2=7+7x,y0.
Solution
A similar region Ris pictured in the figure. In Example 1,we discovered that T(S)=R, where Sis the square [0,1][0,1]. Indeed, the reason for making the change of
variables to evaluate the integral is that Sis a much simpler region than R. First we need to compute the Jacobian:
del(x,y)del(u,v)=|[delxdelu,delxdelv
delydelu,delydelv]|
=|[2u,-2v
7v,]|
=
Therefore by the theorem for the change of variables in a double integral
Using the change o f variables x = u 2 - v 2 , y
