Change of Variables & the Jacobian · Superchallenge problem

Let EE be the elliptical region 16x225+16y29≤1\dfrac{16x^2}{25} + \dfrac{16y^2}{9} \le 1, whose foci are (±1,0)(\pm1, 0), and let r1r_1 and r2r_2 denote the distances from (x,y)(x,y) to (1,0)(1,0) and to (−1,0)(-1,0). Evaluate ∬EdAr1r2\displaystyle\iint_E \dfrac{dA}{r_1 r_2}.
