MATH 1211-Tutorial VIII-Change of

Variables

1. (a) If
u = x − y, v = x + y,
find x and y in terms of u and v.
(b) Find the Jacobian J given by
∂(x, y)
J= .
∂(u, v)
(c) The region R is bounded by the parallelogram with vertices (0,0),
(1,-1), (2,0) and (1,1).
Show that the region S in the uv-plane corresponding to the
region R in the xy-plane is the rectangle bounded by the lines
u = 0, u = 2, v = 0 and v = 2.
(d) Hence show that

2. Consider the evaluation of the double integral
Z Z
I= xy dxdy,
R
where R is the region bounded by the parallelogram
2x + 3y = 1, 2x + 3y = 3, x − 2y = 2 and x − 2y = −2.
Use the transformation
u = 2x + 3y, v = x − 2y
to find the value of I.

(a) Sketch the region of integration in the xy-plane.

(b) Use the change of variables

5. Past Exams 2012:
Let I be defined as
Z 1 Z 1−x y
I= e x+y dydx.
0 0

(a) Show by means of a diagram the region over which I is taken.

(b) By using the transformation x + y = u, y = uv, evaluate I.
