Define the collections $\{E_1, E_2, E_3, \ldots\}$ of ellipses and $\{R_1, R_2, R_3, \ldots\}$ of rectangles as follows:
$E_1: \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$
$R_1$: rectangle of largest area,with sides parallel to the axes,inscribed in $E_1$;
$E_n$: ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a_n^2} + \frac{y^2}{b_n^2} = 1$ of largest area inscribed in $R_{n-1}, n > 1$;
$R_n$: rectangle of largest area,with sides parallel to the axes,inscribed in $E_n, n > 1$.
