Consider the transformation of variables

x=1−u,y=1−v1−uv.x=1-u, \quad y=\frac{1-v}{1-u v} .

Show that the interior of the unit square in the uvu v plane

{(u,v):0<u<1,0<v<1}\{(u, v): 0<u<1,0<v<1\}

is mapped to the interior of the unit square in the xyx y plane,

R={(x,y):0<x<1,0<y<1}.R=\{(x, y): 0<x<1,0<y<1\} .

[Hint: Consider the relation between vv and yy when u=αu=\alpha, for 0<α<10<\alpha<1 constant.]

Show that

∂(x,y)∂(u,v)=(1−(1−x)y)2x\frac{\partial(x, y)}{\partial(u, v)}=\frac{(1-(1-x) y)^{2}}{x}

Now let

u=1−t1−wt,v=1−wu=\frac{1-t}{1-w t}, \quad v=1-w

By calculating

∂(x,y)∂(t,w)=∂(x,y)∂(u,v)∂(u,v)∂(t,w)\frac{\partial(x, y)}{\partial(t, w)}=\frac{\partial(x, y)}{\partial(u, v)} \frac{\partial(u, v)}{\partial(t, w)}

as a function of xx and yy, or otherwise, show that

∫Rx(1−y)(1−(1−x)y)(1−(1−x2)y)2dxdy=1\int_{R} \frac{x(1-y)}{(1-(1-x) y)\left(1-\left(1-x^{2}\right) y\right)^{2}} d x d y=1
