Página 43 - Find an expression for the radius of curvature in terms of the radius vector and the perpendicular on the tangent.
Página 16 - J'2' That is, the sum of the reciprocals of the squares of any two semi-diameters of a curve of the second order, which are perpendicular to each other, is the same ; and, in reference!
Página 19 - V -AB, the values of the constants A, B must have the same sign to make C real, that is, they must be either both of them positive or both negative ; and hence we may consider them both positive for, when negative, they can be made so by preliminarly changing all the signs of the original equation.
Página 15 - A", B" have different signs. 59. 9th. In the two following cases it will be found that no real values of x and y can possibly fulfil the equation (b) • and consequently that the equation can have no locus. First. When G and 4 AB — C2 are of the same sign and A", B
Página 19 - ... it must coincide with the axis of the curve. Therefore the above equation properly represents the principal diameter of the curve; by uniting it with the original equation we may hence find the co-ordinates x'y' of its intersection with the curve, or the vertex.
Página 11 - B, C, a, b, c, may be either positive or negative, Let us in the first place transfer the equation to two other rectangular axes parallel to the original ones and having their origin at a point whose ordinates are ab; and, (43,) by substituting x -\- x...
Página 18 - We have, (63,) assumed x'y' to determine a point in the curve, but not restricted ourselves to any particular point; •we may therefore take this point where the curve is intersected by a straight line whose equation is by means of which we shall have ,V^+S^B+ which reduces the equation to ^.* = o....(c).
