C is oval according to the meaning of the question.
2a=4
a=2
c=√3
b= 1
C:x? /4+y? = 1

L cannot coincide with the x axis, otherwise AOB will not form a triangle.
Let l:ky=(x+ 1)
X=ky- 1。
Simultaneous with elliptic equation
(k? +4)y? -2ky-3=0
According to Vieta's theorem.
y 1+y2=2k/(k? +4)
y 1y2=-3/(k? +4)
(y 1-y2)?
=(y 1+y2)? -4y 1y 1
= 16(k? +3)/(k? +4)?
= 16(k? +3)/[(k? +3)? +2(k? +3)+ 1]
= 16/[(k? +3)+2+ 1/(k? +3)]
k? +3+ 1/(k? +3) is a tick function in k? When +3= 1, the minimum value is taken.
But because of k? +3≥3
So (y 1-y2)?
= 16/[(k? +3)+2+ 1/(k? +3)]
≤ 16/[2+3+ 1/3]
=3
|y 1-y2|≤√3
Therefore, when L is perpendicular to the X axis, the area is the largest, which is 1*√3/2=√3/2.
If you have any questions, please ask. Wish: learning progress!
