The full question is this:
Volume of a solid in any region R is given by: $$\int\!\!\!\int_Rf(x,y)dydx $$
where, $$f(x,y) = z = \ln(x^2+y^2)$$
and, $$x^2+y^2=r^2$$
There for, $$dydx = \_\_\_drd\theta$$
My answer is:
$$r\ln(r^2)\, dr\,d\theta$$
but the book says the correct answer is: $$r \,dr\,d\theta$$
How is that so?
There two different things: $\ln(x^2+y^2)$ is transformed into $\ln(r^2)$, and $dx\,dy$ is transformed into $r\,dr\,d\theta$.
Of course I cannot know, what exactly states yor book, but at least partially it tells the truth.
