Geometría proyectiva: Obtaining the conical center

For the conical center will need to have poles and polar respect thereof. In particular constructions are simplified if we know tangents and contact points. We will see that is especially immediately if three tangents and their respective contact points are known, obtained from the definition of the conic by 5 data and application of the techniques disclosed to determine tangents and points of tangency.

Geometría proyectiva: Obtaining conical shafts from two pairs Diameters Polar Conjugates

A conical axes are those conjugates polar diameters are orthogonal to each.

We recall that two polar conjugate diameters, necessarily pass through the center O of the conical, are the polar two points unfit (located at infinity) that they are conjugated, namely, the polar of each of these points contains the other.

These pairs of elements determine an involution of diameters (polar) Conjugates will be defined when two pairs of beams know and their homologues.

Conical defined by the two foci and a point

One of the first problems we can solve based on the definition of conic as “locus of the centers of circumferences passing through a fixed point (focus) which are tangent to a circumference (focal circle centered the other focus)” It is the determination of the tapered from the two foci and a point.

The classic definition will be determined as the vertices A1 and A2 of the conical obtained.

conic metric: Head circumference

Head circumference

We have defined the ellipse as the “locus of centers circumferences, through a focus, They are tangent to the focal circumference of the other focus center”.

This definition allows us to approach the study of the conic by applying the concepts studied to solve the problems of tangents and, en particular, reducing them to the fundamental problem of tangents.

This circumference will link with another whose radius is half the radius of the focal, and its center is the taper. We call this circumference “Head circumference”.

Conic as Locus Centers Circumferences Tangents

We have seen that the study of conic can be made from different geometric approaches. En particular, to start analyzing conic we have defined as the ellipse locus, we said that:

Ellipse is the locus of points in a plane whose sum of distances from two fixed points, called Spotlights, It has a constant value.

This metric definition of this curve allows us to address important study relating to the tangents circumferences, known as “Problem of Apollonius” in any of its versions. When we approach the study of the parabola or hyperbola return to reframe the problem to generalize these concepts and reduce problems “fundamental problem of tangents in the case straight”, or “fundamental problem of tangents in the case circumference”, namely, determining a circumference of a “Make corradical” a tangency condition.

Conical : Ellipse as locus

The study of conic can be made from different geometric approaches. One of the most used is the analysis that determined from planar sections in a cone of revolution.

From this definition it is possible to infer metric properties of these curves, plus new definitions of the same.
