Is the boundary a circle?

Calculus Level 5

( 3 x + 2 y ) 2 + ( 5 x k y ) 2 = 25 (3x+2y)^2+(5x-ky)^2=25 The area of the region bounded by the curve above is equal to 25 π 22 \frac{25 \pi}{22} . Find the positive number k k to 2 decimal places.


The answer is 4.00.

Let u = 3 x + 2 y u=3x+2y and v = 5 x k y v=5x-ky . Then the Jacobian of u u and v v with respect to x x and y y is equal J = 3 2 5 k = 3 k 10. J=\begin{vmatrix}3&2\\5&{-k}\end{vmatrix}=-3k-10. As k k is a positive number then J = 3 k + 10. |J|=3k+10. Let us represent the region under consideration by R x , y , R_{x,y}, and its transformed region in terms of the coordinates u u and v v as R u , v R_{u, v} . Obviously, R u , v , R_{u, v}, is the circle with center at ( 0 , 0 ) (0, 0) and radius 5. Then 25 π = a r e a ( R u , v ) = R u , v d u d v = R x , y ( 3 k + 10 ) d x d y = ( 3 k + 10 ) a r e a ( R x , y . ) 25 \pi=area(R_{u, v})=\iint_{R_{u, v}}du dv=\iint_{R_{x, y}}(3k+10)dx dy=(3k+10) area(R_{x,y}.) Solving this equation for a r e a ( R x , y ) , area(R_{x,y}), we obtain that a r e a ( R x , y ) = 25 π 3 k + 10 , area( R_{x,y})= \frac{25 \pi}{3k+10}, therefore, 25 π 3 k + 10 = 25 π 22 . \frac{25 \pi}{3k+10}=\frac{25 \pi}{22}. Hence the answer to this question is k = 4.00 . k=\boxed{4.00}.
