Answer

The region is inside the ellipse $(\dfrac{x}{a})^2+(\dfrac{y}{b})^2 \leq 1$

Work Step by Step

In order to get the values of $u$ and $v$ we will need to solve the given two equations. we have $u^2+v^2 \leq 1$ and $x=au\implies u=\dfrac{x}{a}$ Also, $y=bv \implies v=\dfrac{y}{b}$ Thus, we can write $u=\dfrac{x}{a}$ and $ v=\dfrac{y}{b}$ This gives: $(\dfrac{x}{a})^2+(\dfrac{y}{b})^2 \leq 1$ Hence, the region is inside the ellipse $(\dfrac{x}{a})^2+(\dfrac{y}{b})^2 \leq 1$
