# Math Help - Jacobian transformation integral

1. ## Jacobian transformation integral

$\int \int x^2dA=6\pi....where 9x^2+4y^2=36, x=2u, y=3v$
ellipse is the 1st region.... there are theoretical proofs of the Jacobian transformation using vector analysis? the higher powers of the Jacobian are used for general relativity

Hey mathlover10.

Are you talking about the substitution theorems for multi-variable calculus?

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking to actually evaluate this double integral using the given transformation, or do you want more information about transformations and Jacobians in general?

this is an easy integral you can do by inspection where u^2+v^2=1 and you can change to radial coordinates or use square root limits
I've worked through the proof of approximating the image region R by secant vectors in Stewart in change of variable integrals but was a little unclear...I've heard that Hubbard or others are good texts....but maybe it's better to spend time learning other things like complex analysis?....
