From the given conditions,
(As shown in Figure 7),
∠EAB=∠PAB,∠FAC
=∠PAC, hence ∠EAP=2∠PAB,∠FAP=2∠PAC.∴∠EAF=∠EAP+∠FAP=∠PAB+∠PAC=8∠BAC= a constant, then S△AEF=21AE⋅AFsin∠EAF=21AP2
. sin2∠BAC. To minimize S△AFF, it is only necessary for AP to be the smallest, so draw PP⊥BC through A, with P being the foot of the perpendicular, and point P is the required point; similarly, to maximize S△AEF, it is only necessary for AP to be the largest, so when point P coincides with point B, S△AEF is the largest.
