Exercise 12

Avg difficulty 3.0

Consider this transformation of the plane R2\mathbb{R}^{2}.

(xy)↦(x/2y/3)\begin{pmatrix}x\\ y\end{pmatrix}\mapsto\begin{pmatrix}x/2\\ y/3\end{pmatrix}

Find the image under this map of this ellipse.

{(xy)∣(x2/4)+(y2/9)=1}\{\hskip 1.00006pt\begin{pmatrix}x\\ y\end{pmatrix}\mid(x^{2}/4)+(y^{2}/9)=1\hskip 1.00006pt\}
