Conchoid

Japanese: conchoid
Conchoid

…Consider a circle whose diameter is the line segment connecting the origin O and point A( a ,0), and for a moving point Q on this circumference, let R be the intersection point of the straight line OQ and the straight line x = a . If you place point P on the line segment OQ so that the lengths of OP and QR are equal, P will draw this curve. (2)A quartic curve expressed by the equation ( x - a ) 2 ( x 2 + y 2 ) = b 2 x 2 ( a and b are positive constants) is called a conchoid or a spiral line (Figure 6). For a moving point Q on the straight line x = a , if you place line segments QP of length b on the straight line OQ on both sides of Q, P will draw this curve. …

…原点Oと点A(a,0)を結ぶ線分を直径とする円を考え,この円周上の動点Qに対し,直線OQと直線xaとの交点をRとして,線分OQ上に点PをOPとQRの長さが等しくなるようにとれば,Pはこの曲線を描く。(2)方程式(xa)2(x2y2)=b2x2(a,bは正の定数)で表される四次曲線をコンコイドconchoidまたは螺獅(らし)線という(図6)。直線xa上の動点Qに対し,直線OQ上に長さbの線分QPをQの両側にとれば,Pはこの曲線を描く。…
