In these Calculus 1 optimization problems,
they're giving you a `constraint` and asking you to maximize or minimize `something else`.

So one problem that comes to mind is maximizing a rectangle within an ellipse. Oh, I see you did a problem similar to this recently, but with a circle.

Ya coming up with the expression is a little tricky. Hmm.
