Change of Variables in Triple Integrals

Proposition (Change of Variables in Triple Integrals) Let change of variables in triple integrals _gr_1.gif] be a continuous function on a region change of variables in triple integrals _gr_2.gif] in the change of variables in triple integrals _gr_3.gif] and let change of variables in triple integrals _gr_4.gif] be a one-to-one transformation that maps the region change of variables in triple integrals _gr_5.gif] in the change of variables in triple integrals _gr_6.gif]-space onto change of variables in triple integrals _gr_7.gif] under the change of variables change of variables in triple integrals _gr_8.gif] change of variables in triple integrals _gr_9.gif] and change of variables in triple integrals _gr_10.gif] where functions change of variables in triple integrals _gr_11.gif] change of variables in triple integrals _gr_12.gif] and change of variables in triple integrals _gr_13.gif] are continuously differentiable functions on change of variables in triple integrals _gr_14.gif] If   change of variables in triple integrals _gr_15.gif] then

Example (Change of Variables in Triple Integrals) Compute the volume of an ellipsoid.

    Solution. Assume the ellipsoid is given in standard form by

change of variables in triple integrals _gr_18.gif]

Let change of variables in triple integrals _gr_19.gif] change of variables in triple integrals _gr_20.gif] and change of variables in triple integrals _gr_21.gif] then the ellipsoid corresponds to the unit sphere change of variables in triple integrals _gr_22.gif] Since change of variables in triple integrals _gr_23.gif] change of variables in triple integrals _gr_24.gif] change of variables in triple integrals _gr_25.gif] the Jacobian is
    
change of variables in triple integrals _gr_26.gif]

and so the volume of an ellipsoid is given by
