Answer:

To multiply fractions, all you have to do is multiply the numerators and denominators and simplify the result. To divide fractions, you simply have to flip the numerator and denominator of one of the fractions, multiply the result by the other fraction, and simplify.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the given transformation x=4u, y=3v to evaluate the integral. ∬r4x2 da, where r is the region bounded by the ellipse x216 y2

exis [7]

The Jacobian for this transformation is

$J = \begin{bmatrix} x_u & x_v \\ y_u & y_v \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$

with determinant $|J| = 12$ , hence the area element becomes

$dA = dx\,dy = 12 \, du\,dv$

Then the integral becomes

$\displaystyle \iint_{R'} 4x^2 \, dA = 768 \iint_R u^2 \, du \, dv$

where $R'$ is the unit circle,

$\dfrac{x^2}{16} + \dfrac{y^2}9 = \dfrac{(4u^2)}{16} + \dfrac{(3v)^2}9 = u^2 + v^2 = 1$

so that

$\displaystyle 768 \iint_R u^2 \, du \, dv = 768 \int_{-1}^1 \int_{-\sqrt{1-v^2}}^{\sqrt{1-v^2}} u^2 \, du \, dv$

Now you could evaluate the integral as-is, but it's really much easier to do if we convert to polar coordinates.

$\begin{cases} u = r\cos(\theta) \\ v = r\sin(\theta) \\ u^2+v^2 = r^2\\ du\,dv = r\,dr\,d\theta\end{cases}$

Then

$\displaystyle 768 \int_{-1}^1 \int_{-\sqrt{1-v^2}}^{\sqrt{1-v^2}} u^2\,du\,dv = 768 \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^1 (r\cos(\theta))^2 r\,dr\,d\theta \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ = 768 \left(\int_0^{2\pi} \cos^2(\theta)\,d\theta\right) \left(\int_0^1 r^3\,dr\right) = \boxed{192\pi}$

True or False: No matter which factors you start with, you will always end up with the same numbers in the end using prime facto

seropon [69]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In Prime factorization, we are expected to obtain factors that are prime numbers that can multiply themselves to give the original number. So long as the first factor can divide the number without a remainder, other remaining factors can be multiplied together to give the original number.

Prime factorization of the number, 15 goes thus;

15/3=5

5/5=1

3*5=15

So, all the factors multiply to give the original number.
