find the greatest area of the rectangle which can be inscribed in the ellipse ; x 2 /a 2 +y 2 /b 2 =1 with sides parallel to the co-ordinate axes. find the greatest area of the rectangle which can be inscribed in the ellipse ; x2/a2+y2/b2=1 with sides parallel to the co-ordinate axes.

Dear Upendra, Consider a rectangle as shown in the figure inscribed in the given ellipse (x/a)2 + (y/b)2 = 1 such that its side are of length 2p and 2q Now considerthe point (p,q) which is one of the ocrners of the rectangle that lies on the ellipse so (p/a)2 + (q/b)2 = 1 which gives q= b * √(1-(p/a)2 now area of the rectangle A = 2p * 2q = 4 * p* q = 4 * p * b * √(1-(p/a)2 Now to find maximum area we find the maxima by differentiating it and equating it to zero (dA/da) = 0 4*b*√(1-(p/a)2 + (4*p*b/√(1-(p/a)2) * (-p/a2) = 0 p = a/√2 and q = b/√2 Thus max area is found by substituting these vaues and comes out to be 2* a * b Please feel free to post as many doubts on our discussion forum as you can.

Dear Upendra,
Consider a rectangle as shown in the figure inscribed in the given ellipse
(x/a)2 + (y/b)2 = 1 such that its side are of length 2p and 2q
Now considerthe point (p,q) which is one of the ocrners of the rectangle that lies on the ellipse so
(p/a)2 + (q/b)2 = 1 which gives q= b * √(1-(p/a)2
now area of the rectangle A = 2p * 2q
= 4 * p* q
= 4 * p * b * √(1-(p/a)2
Now to find maximum area we find the maxima by differentiating it and equating it to zero
(dA/da) = 0
4*b*√(1-(p/a)2 + (4*p*b/√(1-(p/a)2) * (-p/a2) = 0
p = a/√2 and q = b/√2
Thus max area is found by substituting these vaues and comes out to be 2* a * b
