Cassini's curve

...For a moving point Q on the ellipse x 2 - xy + y 2 - ax - ay = 0, let R be the intersection point of the straight line OQ and the straight line x + y + a = 0. If you place a point P on the longer of the line segments OQ and OR so that the length of OP is equal to the difference between the lengths of OQ and OR, then P will draw this curve. (5)The quartic curve represented by the equation ( x 2 + y 2 ) 2 -2 a 2 ( x 2 - y 2 ) = b 4 - a 4 ( a and b are positive constants) is called the Cassini curve (Figure 11). This is the curve drawn by point P, where the product of the distances from two points A ( a , 0) and B (- a , 0) is equal to b 2 . ...
