Consider the transformation of variables
x=1−u,y=1−uv1−v.
Show that the interior of the unit square in the uv plane
{(u,v):0<u<1,0<v<1}
is mapped to the interior of the unit square in the xy plane,
R={(x,y):0<x<1,0<y<1}.
[Hint: Consider the relation between v and y when u=α, for 0<α<1 constant.]
Show that
∂(u,v)∂(x,y)=x(1−(1−x)y)2
Now let
u=1−wt1−t,v=1−w
By calculating
∂(t,w)∂(x,y)=∂(u,v)∂(x,y)∂(t,w)∂(u,v)
as a function of x and y, or otherwise, show that
∫R(1−(1−x)y)(1−(1−x2)y)2x(1−y)dxdy=1
