Exercise · ZW-CHANGE-OF-VARIABLES-IN-MULTIPLE-INTEGRALS-007 · ★★☆ Intermediate
If at a point \(J=-3\), what does the transformation do near it?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. It reverses orientation and triples areas
Explanation
The sign of \(J\) tells whether orientation is kept or reversed, and \(|J|=3\) is the area scale factor. A collapse would occur with \(J=0\).
Review the concept: Change of variables in multiple integrals
A change of variables turns the integral of a function \(f\) over a region \(R\) of the \(xy\)-plane into one over a region \(S\) of the \(uv\)-plane, correcting the area with the Jacobian \(J\) of the transformation.
\[\begin{aligned}\iint_R f\,dx\,dy&=\iint_S f(x(u,v),y(u,v))\,|J|\,du\,dv\\J&=\frac{\partial(x,y)}{\partial(u,v)}=\begin{vmatrix}x_u&x_v\\y_u&y_v\end{vmatrix}\end{aligned}\]
