Answer» the locus of excenter of the circle described opposite to `angleP` for `DeltaPSS'` (S, S" are foci) is tangent at vertex Let (h, K) be the excenter. Then, `h=(ae(ae SEC theta+a)-ae(ae sectheta-a)-2ae(a sec theta))/(2ae(sec theta-1))=-a` ltBrgt `"or"x=-a("for "S'Pgt SP)` ltbRgt Similarly, x = a (for S'P lt SP). THEREFORE, the locus is `x^(2)=a^(2)` Again, let (h, k) be the excenter opposite `angleS'`. Then , `h=(2a^(2)e sec theta+a^(2)e^(2)sectheta+a^(2)e^(2) sec theta-a^(2)e)/(2a+2ae)` `aesec theta` `"and"k=(2aeb tan theta)/(2a+2ae)` Therefore, the locus is a hyperbola. |
