Misc 8 Find the maximum area of an isosceles triangle inscribed in the ellipse 𝑥^2/𝑎^2 + 𝑦^2/𝑏^2 = 1 with its vertex at one end of the major axis.Given equation of ellipse is 𝑥^2/𝑎^2 +𝑦^2/𝑏^2 =1 where Major axis of ellipse is along x-axis Here, Coordinate of A = (a, 0) Coordinate of A’ = (−a, 0) An isosceles triangle inscribed in the ellipse its vertex at one end of major axis Let ∆𝑷𝑨𝑷^′ be isosceles triangle Let coordinates of point P be (𝒉, 𝒌) Since, ellipse is symmetric So, coordinates of point P’ is (𝒉 , −𝒌) Since point M lies on the 𝒙-axis So, coordinates of point M = (𝒉 , 𝟎) We need to Maximize Area of triangle Let A be the area of isosceles ∆𝑃𝐴𝑃′ A = 1/2 × 𝐵𝑎𝑠𝑒 × 𝐻𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 A = 𝟏/𝟐 × PP’ × AM By Distance Formula, AM = a − h PP’ = 2k Since h and k are two variables, we write h in terms of k Now, Point (𝒉, 𝒌) lies on the ellipse ∴ (ℎ , 𝑘) will satisfy the equation of ellipse Putting 𝑥 = ℎ & y = k in equation 𝑥^2/𝑎^2 +𝑦^2/𝑏^2 =1 (ℎ)^2/𝑎^2 +(𝑘)^2/𝑏^2 =1 (𝑏^2 ℎ^2 + 𝑎^2 𝑘^2)/(𝑎^2 𝑏^2 )=1 𝑏2ℎ2+𝑎2𝑘2 = 𝑎2𝑏2 𝒂𝟐𝒌𝟐 = 𝑎2𝑏2 – 𝑏2ℎ2 𝑘2 = (𝑎2𝑏2" – " 𝑏2ℎ2" " )/𝑎2 𝑘 = √((𝑎2𝑏2" – " 𝑏2ℎ2" " )/𝑎2) 𝒌 = 𝟏/𝒂 √((𝒂𝒃)^𝟐−(𝒃𝒉)^𝟐 ) Thus, Area of Triangle A = 1/2 × AM × PP’ A = 1/2 × (𝑎−ℎ) ×2𝑘 A = (𝒂−𝒉) ×𝟏/𝒂 √((𝒂𝒃)^𝟐−𝒃^𝟐 𝒉^𝟐 ) We need to maximise A, but A has a square root Which will be difficult to differentiate Let Z = A2 Z = ((𝑎−ℎ) × 1/𝑎 √((𝑎𝑏)^2−(𝑏 ℎ)^2 ))^2 Z = (𝑎−ℎ)^2 × 1/𝑎^2 ((𝑎𝑏)^2−(𝑏^2 ℎ^2 )) Z = (𝑎−ℎ)^2 × 1/𝑎^2 × 𝑏^2 (𝑎^2−ℎ^2 ) Z = (𝒂−𝒉)^𝟐 × (𝒃/𝒂)^𝟐 (𝒂^𝟐−𝒉^𝟐 ) Z = (𝑏/𝑎)^2 (𝑎−ℎ)^2 (𝑎^2−ℎ^2 ) Since A is positive, A is maximum if A2 is maximum So, we maximise Z = A2 Differentiating w.r.t h 𝑑𝑍/𝑑ℎ= 𝑑((𝑏/𝑎)^2 (𝑎 − ℎ)^2 (𝑎^2 − ℎ^2 ))/𝑑ℎ 𝑑𝑍/𝑑ℎ=(𝑏/𝑎)^2.
