Point P is located somewhere between the EA-line. I have to find the coordinates of point P, so that the angle it creates with the given T1 and T2 points is maximal. Figure might not be 100% correctly drawed, but the coordinates are there. Thanks in advance!IMG_0429.jpg

What are your thoughts? What have you tried? How far have you gotten? ("Read Before Posting")

Please be complete. Thank you!

It appears that you are using a notation in which points are designated by (x | y), so the actual layout would look like this, where the locations of A and E are swapped from the way you drew them:

You haven't told us anything about what methods you can use, or what you've tried; do you want to use calculus, or just geometry or trigonometry? What have you learned that might be applicable? Also, where did the problem come from? If it's from a textbook or course, what topic is it associated with?

One geometrical idea I have involves the circle containing P, T1, and T2, if that suggests anything to you.
