Re: What do you think?
New problem:
3 random points are placed on the ellipse 3x^2 + 4y^2 - 12x -16y = -17. What is the expected value of the area of the triangle these three points create?

Re: What do you think?
That would be appreciated. I am half way through some geogebra code too.

Re: What do you think?
No problem. Tell me if you see a way to improve it (and there surely is).
Also, post in the Computer Math when you get a GG solution.
