Explain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. If the transformation \(T: x=g(u, v), y=h(u, v)\) is linear in \(u\) and \(v,\) then the Jacobian is a constant. b. The transformation \(x=a u+b v, y=c u+d v\) generally maps triangular regions to triangular regions. c. The transformation \(x=2 v, y=-2 u\) maps circles to circles.
An important integral in statistics associated with the normal distribution is \(I=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}} d x .\) It is evaluated in the following steps. a. Assume that $$\begin{aligned} I^{2} &=\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}} d x\right)\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-y^{2}} d y\right) \\ &=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}-y^{2}} d x d y \end{aligned}$$ where we have chosen the variables of integration to be \(x\) and \(y\) and then written the product as an iterated integral. Evaluate this integral in polar coordinates and show that \(I=\sqrt{\pi} .\) Why is the solution \(I=-\sqrt{\pi}\) rejected? b. Evaluate \(\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2}} d x, \int_{0}^{\infty} x e^{-x^{2}} d x,\) and \(\int_{0}^{\infty} x^{2} e^{-x^{2}} d x\) (using part (a) if needed).

Surfaces are specified using the coordinates that give the simplest description, but the simplest integration may be with respect to different variables.
