Locus

Why is locus ...

Question

Why is locus defined by using h and f and then replaced with x and y ?

Open in App

Solution

if a point P on the locus and (h,k) its coordinate.
then h is repalced by x and k is replaced by y.because (x,y) are known are the variable or current co-ordinate.

Q. If for all

x, y

the function

f

is defined by

A locus is a curve traced out by a point which moves under certain geometrical conditions:To find the locus of a point first we assume the coordinates of the moving point as

(h, k)

and then try to find a relation between

h

and

k

with the help of the given conditions of the problem. If there is any variable involved in the process then we eliminate them. At last, we replace

h

x

and

k

y

and get the locus of the point which will be an equation in

x

and

y
