(choose chapter or problem)

We call a coordinate system (u, v) orthogonal if its coordinate curves (the two families of curves u = constant and v = constant) are orthogonal trajectories (for example, a Cartesian coordinate system or a polar coordinate system). Let(u, v) be orthogonal coordinates, where u = x2+2y2, and x and y are Cartesian coordinates. Find the Cartesian equation of the v-coordinate curves, and sketch the (u, v) coordinate system.
