Locus of a point equidistant from a point?
The locus of a moving point so that it is equidistant from another fixed point (i.e. the distance between them is always constant) is a circle.
Circle and its elements?
A circle is the locus of a point which moves such that its distance from a fixed point is constant. .The fixed point is centre and fixed distance is radius of circle. Elements of circle are centre, radius and circumference.
What does parabola mean in mathematical terms?
It is the locus of all points such that their distance from a fixed line (the directrix) is the same as their distance from a fixed point which is not on that line (the focus).
A compass draws all points at a uniform distance from a fixed point thereby creating a locus of points for a circle?
true
What is foci of hyperbola?
A half of a hyperbola is defined as the locus of points such that the distance of the point from one fixed point (a focus) and its distance from a fixed line (the directrix) is a constant that is greater than 1 (the eccentricity). By symmetry, a hyperbola has two foci and two directrices.
