How can this multiple integral be evaluated?
I am stuck trying to solve the following integral:
$$int_R (y+2x^2)(y-x^2) dA$$ where $R$ is defined by the following equations: $xy=1$, $xy=2$, $y=x^2$, $y=x^2-1$ with $x$ and $y$ positives.
I've tried several changes of variables for example: $u=xy$, $v=y-x^2$ or $u=y-x^2$, $v=x^2$ but I get stuck because for the Jacobian ot for the limits of integration I have to solve a third degree equation. I know that I could solve it using Cardano's formula but it has to be an easy way to do it.
Thank you very much.
Merry Christmas.

On behalf of @math15: It seems that there is an error in the integral. Are you sure that it is $(y+2x)$ and not $(y+2x^2)$ ?

Yes sorry, you are right!. I've already corrected it

The first idea, $u=xy$ and $v=y-x^2$, looks good with $frac{partial (u,v)}{partial (x,y)}=y+2x^2$ and therefore $frac{partial (x,y)}{partial (u,v)}=frac 1{y+2x^2}$.

Thank you very much! I've checked the inverse function theorem and yes, it works!

As a first step it is better to represent the region of integration, as in the figure.
From this we see that, to integrate, we have to divide the domain in three subregions as:
1) $ x_Ale xle x_B$ where we have $frac{1}{x}le yle x^2$
2) $ x_Ble xle x_C$ where we have $frac{1}{x}le yle frac{2}{x}$
3) $ x_Cle xle x_D$ where we have $x^2-1le yle frac{2}{x}$
This gives us the limits of integration and the integration is simple for the given function.
The problem is to find the coordinates of the points $A,B,C,D$ where we find some difficulty in solving equations of third degree.
Can you do from there?
Well, actually my problem is to compute C and D. I was told that there is a way to solve the integral without solving a third degree equation with a change of of variables but I cannot find one which avoid this problem.
