    Let C be a circle centered at F and let L denote a line on the same plane as C which doesn't intersect C. Then construct a variable circle tangent to L and C and denote its center as X. A collection of all such possible centers X is a parabola.

    I'm likely missing something, but I don't see the purpose of L or the circles of radius a. You can start with F and d, select a point M d, construct a perpendicular to d at M, construct the segment FM, make a perpendicular bisector of FM, and label the point X as in the video.
    This is exactly the same as the construction in the video, but with a radius of zero for the red circles, but it simplifies quite a bit.
    In any case, excellent video!

      Ok, but it doesn't. In the end, you take the perpendicular bisector anyway, which is what gives the parabola. You took a circle of radius a, but you could have taken 20 consecutive adjacent circles the same way, and still, in the end, needed the same exact perpendicular bisector.

    • @Monochrome_math
      @Monochrome_math 3 роки тому +1

      @@piwi2005 Alright I carefully watched the video again. So, yes I agree that drawing circle Q would be pointless. We can simply construct perpendicular bisector and move the perpendicular line. However, lets look at where did he came up with such construction in the first case. Lets assume circle with some radius 'a' (I will come back to it why you need to do so). Now consider ALL the circles which are tangent to circle and line. And plot all the centers of such circles. Now all those points will form a parabola. Now how do we construct such a circle? Thats what this video shows. This video shows how to construct such circle. Now, looking at the steps, you may say that constructing the circle at last is useless, but that ruins the main essence which this video is trying to convey. I.e. Centers of all circles tangent to circle with focus as its center and tangent to line segment will form a parabola. Now as for why not simply take 'a' (aka radius) as 0? This is important coz it can be cleverly used to change the shape of parabola. In case of a = 0, that would mean constructing circles tangent to line and focus containing on the circumference of the circle. Yes, it would still be possible to create the parabola but you won't have that same flexibility to change the parabola as you would have if you were to change 'a'.
      Correct me anywhere if I am wrong. Hope that clears things up.

      I agree that the video shows a theorem with circles and parabolas. However, it does not construct a parabola with circles. It construct first the parabola, with the bisector, between F and d(="L-a"), then it constructs a circle from the parabola which is tangent to the first two circles. One could "construct" a parabola in such way only if you already had a set of circles that you could glide on the plane, make them tangent somehow with the circle and F, then mark the center.
