Change of Variables & the Jacobian · Medium problem

The transformation x=eucos⁡vx=e^u\cos v, y=eusin⁡vy=e^u\sin v is applied near the point (u,v)=(ln⁡2, π/4)(u,v)=(\ln 2,\ \pi/4). A tiny disk of radius 0.010.01 centered there is mapped to a tiny region. Using the Jacobian as a local area-scaling factor, estimate the area of that image region.
