Pàgina 128 - Find the locus of a point, the distances of which from two given straight lines have a fixed ratio. 143. Find the locus of a point which moves so that the sum of its distances from two vertices of an equilateral triangle shall equal its distance from the third.
Pàgina 81 - A conic section is the locus of a point which moves so that its distance from a fixed point, called the focus, is in a constant ratio to its distance from a fixed straight line, called the directrix.
Pàgina 208 - PF'/PH' = e, by definition of the curve. Furthermore :f (6) PF + PF' = 2a. In fact, the ellipse is often defined as the locus of a point which moves so that the sum of its distances from two fixed points is constant.
Pàgina 405 - The diagonals of a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle intersect at right angles...
Pàgina 1 - THE Rectangle under the Sum and Difference of two Lines, is equal to the Difference of the Squares, of those Lines.
Pàgina 352 - Two circles have double internal contact with an cllipse,t and a third circle passes through the four points of contact. If t, t', T be the tangents' from any point on the ellipse to these three circles, prove that T* = «'. 579.
Pàgina 158 - What is the locus of a point which moves so that the square of its distance from a fixed point is proportional to its distance from a fixed line?
Pàgina 105 - A straight line moves so that the sum of the reciprocals of its intercepts on two fixed intersecting lines is constant; shew that it passes through a fixed point. 2. Prove that bx" — 2/ixy + ay* = 0 represents two straight lines at right angles respectively to the straight lines ax1 + 2hxy + by*=Q.
