We have just begun this topic and I'm really confused about how to approach questions, is there any trick or guideline for doing so?
Ex: Consider an isosceles right triangle whose hypotenuse is the x-axis and whose vertex is on the y-axis. If the hypotenuse is 2 units long, we'd have x-intercepts of -1 and 1. What is the largest area possible for a rectangle inscribed in the triangle?
