To find the maximum area of an isosceles triangle inscribed in the ellipse given by the equation \(\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\) with its vertex at one end of the major axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry The ellipse has its major axis along the x-axis and minor axis along the y-axis. The vertex of the triangle is at one end of the major axis, which we can take as the point \(A(a, 0)\). ### Step 2: Define the Other Vertices Let the other two vertices of the triangle be \(B(-x, y)\) and \(C(x, y)\). Since the triangle is isosceles, the y-coordinates of points \(B\) and \(C\) are the same. ...
