OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I have to do some transformations so, R is the parallelogram with vertices (0,0), (4,3), (2,4), (-2,1).

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

|dw:1425199721973:dw|

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

So I have the equations \[y+x/2=5\] \[y+x/2=0\] \[y-3x/4=0\] \[y-3x/4=5/2\] but these equations don't exactly give me the transformation that maps a rectangular region S in uv - plane onto R

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

\[0 < y-3x/4<5/2 \implies 0 <u<5/2\] \[0<y+x/2<5 \implies 0 <v<5\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

:\

OpenStudy (rational):

you want to transform that parallelogram into a rectangle ?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yup

OpenStudy (rational):

try this ``` u = 2x+4y v = -3x+4y ```

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

How'd you get that

OpenStudy (rational):

is it working ?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I see what you did, sec let me see

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Wait, what are the intervals

OpenStudy (rational):

plugin the four vertices and sketch the rectangle

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Alright

OpenStudy (rational):

(x, y) ----> (u, v) ``` u = 2x+4y v = -3x+4y ``` (0,0) ---> (0, 0) (-2, 1) ---> (0, 10) (2, 4) ---> (20, 10) (4, 3) ---> (20, 0)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yeah that works

OpenStudy (rational):

there are several ways to get that linear transformation equations what method did they teach you in class ?

OpenStudy (rational):

the most obvious one is solving below coefficients by plugging in points : \[u = ax+by\\v = cx+dy\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

We were not shown a method for transformation, just were taught about jacobians

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Wowwwww, that method could've saved me so much time lol

OpenStudy (rational):

okay next step is to find the jacobian

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

No, that's all the problem asked :P

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What did I do wrong anyways?

OpenStudy (rational):

good, usually the main purpose of doing this kindof transformation is to simplify the bounds for evaluating a volume integral

OpenStudy (rational):

i didnt follow what u did.. leme go back and read again

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I found the equation for each line

OpenStudy (rational):

I see that but what exactly are you trying to do with equations of sides ?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

define the parallelogram

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Then I could find u and v, idk I thought it would've worked

OpenStudy (rational):

okay thats not so obvious yet.. above method of finding coefficients looks pretty to me :)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Btw, how did you know exact points to plug in for coefficients? @rational

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

`u=2x+4y` `v=-3x+4y`

OpenStudy (rational):

one vertex of given parallelogram is (-2, 1) decide where you want to move this point to : say (0, 1) ? then the equations become : \[0 = -2a+1b\\1 = -2c+1d\] similarly get two more equations by pluggin in another vertex and sovle

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Ah, ok! Thanks :3

OpenStudy (rational):

in our earlier transformation "I wanted" (-2, 1) to move to (0, 10). so i got below two equations : \[0 = -2a+1b\\10 = -2c+1d \]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

So, the amount you want it to move is arbitrary right

OpenStudy (rational):

You're the one who want to make that parallelogram a rectangle so you get to choose the dimensions of rectangle too

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Cool cool, thanks :P

OpenStudy (rational):

you can map that parallelogram to a rectangle of ANY dimension and jacobian reflects this... so nothing to wry
