Sketch the graph of the ellipse \(\ds \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1\) and determine its foci. Let \(C\) be the conic which consists of all points \(P=(x,y)\) such ...
(a) \(\ds e=\frac{1}{2}\text{.}\) (b) Use the fact that, for \(P=(x,y)\text{,}\) \(\ds |PF|^2=x^2+(y-1)^2\) and \(\ds |Pl|=\frac{1}{2}|y-4|\text{.}\) (c) From \(\ds ...

THIS book has only recently met our notice; it consists of a series of twenty-nine propositions deriving proofs of many of the chief properties of the ellipse by the method of circular projection. We ...
THE portions of the title-pages we have above given sufficiently indicate the scope of the two works under review and the measure of acceptance they have met with. As we have already given an account ...
