QI - The sum of the distance of a moving point from the points (c,0) and (-c,0) is
always 2a units. Find the equation to the locus
of the moving point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P be the moving point and the given points be A (c,0) and B (-c, 0). If (h, k) be the co-ordinates of any position of P on its locus then:

PA + PB = 2a

PA = 2a - PB

PA² = 4a² + PB² – 4a ∙ PB

PA² – PB² = 4a² – 4a ∙ PB

[(h - c)² +(k - 0)²] - [(h + c)² +(k - 0)²] = 4a² – 4a. PB

-4hc = 4a² – 4a∙PB

a ∙ PB = a² + hc

Taking square

a² ∙ PB² = (a² + hc)²

a² [(h + c)² + (k - 0)²] = (a² + hc)²

a² [h² + c² + 2hc + k²] = a⁴ + 2a²hc + h²c²

a²h² – h²c² + a²k² = a⁴ – a²c²

(a² – c²)h² + a²k² = a² (a² – c²)

h²/a² + k²/(a² – c²) = 1

Therefore, the required equation to the locus of P is

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
