A vanishing Jacobian \( \partial(u,v)/\partial(x,y) = 0 \) indicates that

  • A.\( u \) and \( v \) are functionally dependent
  • B.\( u \) and \( v \) are both constant functions
  • C.the transformation preserves area exactly
  • D.the transformation reverses orientation

Answer: A

If the Jacobian vanishes identically there is a relation \( \phi(u,v) = 0 \) between the two functions, so they carry no independent information and the map collapses the plane onto a curve. Area is preserved when the Jacobian is \( \pm 1 \), and orientation is reversed when it is negative rather than zero
