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 ...

THE question of the true geometric interpretation of the Mongian equation has been often considered by mathematicians. In the first place, we have the late Dr. Boole's statement that “here our powers ...
