Page 475 - An ellipse is described so as to touch the three sides of a triangle ; prove that if one of its foci move along the circumference of a circle passing through two of the angular points of the triangle, the other will move along the circumference of another circle, passing through the same two angular points. Prove also that if one of these circles pass through the centre of the circle inscribed in the triangle, the two circles will coincide.
Page 386 - ... equal to the sum of the latera-recta of the other three. 3. On a fixed tangent to a conic are taken a fixed point A, and two moveable points P, Q, such that AP, AQ, subtend equal angles at a fixed point 0. From P, Q are drawn two other tangents to the conic, prove that the locus of their point of intersection is a straight line. 4. Two variable tangents are drawn to a conic section so that the portion of a fixed tangent, intercepted between them, subtends a right angle at a fixed point. Prove...
Page 253 - A point moves so that the sum of the squares of its distances from the points (0, 0), (1, 0) is constant.

Page 43 - О and ß be the given vector. Solution. Let P be any point on the line AP, which is parallel to the vector ß.
Page 477 - If the lines which bisect the angles between pairs of tangents to an ellipse be parallel to a fixed straight line, prove that the locus of the points of intersection of the tangents will be a rectangular hyperbola.

Page 475 - FIND a point the distances of which from three given points, not in the same straight line, are proportional to p, q and r respectively, the four points being in the same plane. 2. If TP, TQ be two tangents drawn from any point T to touch a conic in P and Q, and if S and H be the foci, then SI
