1. $x = 2u, \space y = 3v$

2. $x = \frac{u}{2}, \space y = \frac{v}{3}$

Answer

a. $T(u,v) = (g(u,v), \space h(u,v), \space x = g(u,v) = \frac{u}{2}$ and $y = h(u,v) = \frac{v}{3}$. The functions $g$ and $h$ are continuous and differentiable, and the partial derivatives $g_u (u,v) = \frac{1}{2}, \space g_v (u,v) = 0, \space h_u (u,v) = 0$ and $h_v (u,v) = \frac{1}{3}$ are continuous on $S$;

b. $T(0,0) = (0,0), \space T(1,0) = \left(\frac{1}{2},0\right), \space T(0,1) = \left(0,\frac{1}{3}\right)$, and $T(1,1) = \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3} \right)$;

Answer

a. $T(u,v) = (g(u,v), \space h(u,v), \space x = g(u,v) = 2u - v$ and $y = h(u,v) = u + 2v$. The functions $g$ and $h$ are continuous and differentiable, and the partial derivatives $g_u (u,v) = 2, \space g_v (u,v) = -1, \space h_u (u,v) = 1$ and $h_v (u,v) = 2$ are continuous on $S$;

6. $x = u^3, \space y = v^3$

Answer

a. $T(u,v) = (g(u,v), \space h(u,v), \space x = g(u,v) = u^3$ and $y = h(u,v) = v^3$. The functions $g$ and $h$ are continuous and differentiable, and the partial derivatives $g_u (u,v) = 3u^2, \space g_v (u,v) = 0, \space h_u (u,v) = 0$ and $h_v (u,v) = 3v^2$ are continuous on $S$;

8. $x = u^4, \space y = u^2 + v$, where $S$ is the triangle of vertices $(-2,0), \space (2,0)$, and $(0,2)$.

Answer

$T$ is not one-to-one: two points of $S$ have the same image. Indeed, $T(-2,0) = T(2,0) = (16,4)$.

9. $x = 2u, \space y = 3v$, where $S$ is the square of vertices $(-1,1), \space (-1,-1), \space (1,-1)$, and $(1,1)$.

10. $T(u, v) = (2u - v, u),$ where $S$ is the triangle with vertices $(-1,1), \, (-1,-1)$, and $(1,-1)$.

Answer

$T$ is one-to-one: We argue by contradiction. $T(u_1,v_1) = T(u_2,v_2)$ implies $2u_1 - v_1 = 2u_2 - v_2$ and $u_1 = u_2$. Thus, $u_1 = u+2$ and $v_1 = v_2$.

11. $x = u + v + w, \space y = u + v, \space z = w$, where $S = R = R^3$.

12. $x = u^2 + v + w, \space y = u^2 + v, \space z = w$, where $S = R = R^3$.

Answer

$T$ is not one-to-one: $T(1,v,w) = (-1,v,w)$

22. $x = au, \space y = bv, \space z = cw, \space R = \big\{(x,y)\,|\,\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} - \frac{z^2}{c^2} \leq 1, \space z > 0\big\}$, where $a,b,c > 0$
