Distributions of functions of random variables 1 functions of one random variable in some situations, you are given the pdf f x of some rrv x. One path to take would be to add something to ux, t, either a function of t or a function of y, so that differentiation would leave behind a constant that could cancel the pressure term out. In multivariable calculus, we often use a change of variables transformation to make our double integrals easier to evaluate.

We will consider the semilinear equation above and attempt a change of variable to obtain a more convenient form for the equation.
While often the reason for changing variables is to get us an integral that we can do with the new variables, another reason for changing variables is to convert the region into a nicer region to work with. Again, it will be straightforward to convert the function being integrated.
