Let C be a unit circle centered at (2,0)
Let l be any line through the origin and intersecting C at points A1 and A2.
The locus P is the set of points on line l with OB=A1A2.
Find parametric equations for the locus of P.
(In reply to
re: what the curve looks like by Brian Smith)
The point (2,0) is on the curve so I'd think the coefficient for the RHS should be 4, rather than 8. However, when I plot the implicit function the domain seems closer to (-.7,7) rather than the approximately (-.5,.5) that my GSP plot looks like.
