Hi everyone, I am stuck. I feel I am close but the x variable in my Jacobian is throwing me off. I'm thinking I may have made the wrong transformation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
My work is shown in the attached photo by the way.
Let's review the formulation for changing from Cartesian to Polar.
[math]x = r\cdot \cos(\theta)[/math][math]y = r\cdot \sin(\theta)[/math]
[math]J = \begin{vmatrix}\\ \cos( \theta)&-r\cdot \sin(\theta)\\ \sin(\theta)&r\cdot \cos(\theta)\end{vmatrix} = r
[/math]
No x or y in there when we're done.
