What term best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant?
The term that best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant is called an "ellipse." In this geometric shape, the two fixed points are known as the foci, and the constant represents the total distance that remains constant for all points on the ellipse.
Which term best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equal a certain constant?
The term that best describes this set of points is an "ellipse." In an ellipse, the sum of the distances from any point on the curve to two fixed points, known as the foci, is constant. If the constant is equal to the distance between the foci, the shape collapses into a line segment.
Which of these is the best definition of an ellipse?
The set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant. - APEX
Witch term best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant?
The term that best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant is an "ellipse." In this scenario, the two fixed points are known as the foci of the ellipse, and the constant represents the total distance from any point on the ellipse to the two foci. If the constant is less than the distance between the two foci, the set of points forms an empty set.
Which term best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant?
Sounds like an elliptical to me.
What term best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances two fixed points equal a certain constant?
You're trying to describe an "ellipse".
Two fixed points A and B are 100mm apart Trace the complete path of a point P moving in same plane in such a way that the sum of its its distances from A and B is always equal to 125mmName the curve?
The curve traced by point P is an ellipse. The sum of the distances from any point on an ellipse to two fixed points (foci) is constant and equal to the major axis length. In this case, the major axis length is 125mm, and the foci are A and B which are 100mm apart.
Which term best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distance to two fixed points equals a certain constant?
The term that best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant is an "ellipse." In this context, the two fixed points are called the foci of the ellipse, and the constant represents the total distance from any point on the ellipse to these two foci. If the constant is less than the distance between the foci, no points will satisfy the condition, and if it equals the distance between the foci, the ellipse degenerates into a line segment connecting the two points.
Which term best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distance to two points equals a certain constant?
The term that best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant is called an "ellipse." In this scenario, the two fixed points are referred to as the foci of the ellipse, and the constant must be greater than the distance between the two foci for the shape to exist.
What figure is the locus of all points such that the sum of the distances from the point to two fixed points is 6 cm?
The locus of all points such that the sum of the distances from the point to two fixed points is a constant (in this case, 6 cm) is an ellipse. The two fixed points are called the foci of the ellipse. The total distance of 6 cm is the major axis length of the ellipse, indicating that the foci are separated by a distance less than 6 cm, ensuring that the ellipse is defined.
What is the definition of ellipse in math terms?
It is the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance from two (distinct) fixed points is a constant. So, given two fixed points, F1 and F2, an ellipse is the locus of the point P such that PF1 + PF2 is a constant. That would be an ellipsoid, a 3 dimensional thing. The 2 distances have to be measured in a fixed (2 dimensional) plane.
A collection of points in the plane whose distance from fixed point is constant?
That's a circle. The "fixed point" is the center of the circle, and the constant distance is its radius.
