- Longbow CurveIn the following figure, the circle of radius a is stationary, and for every , the point P is the midpoint of the segment QR. The curve traced out by P for 0<< is called the longbow curve. Find the parametric equations for this curve.arrow_forwardThe graph of the equation x2=4py is a parabola with focus F(__, __) and directrix y = ____. So the graph of x2=12y is a parabola with focus F(__, __) and directrix y = ____.arrow_forwardParabolic Reflector A lamp with a parabolic reflector is shown in the figure. The bulb is placed at the focus, and the focal diameter is 12 cm. Find an equation of the parabola. Find the diameter d(C, D) of the opening, 20 cm from the vertex.arrow_forward

How far is the receiver from the vertex of the parabolic reflector?arrow_forwardEpicycloid If the circle C of Exercise 63 rolls on the outside of the larger circle, the curve traced out by P is called an epicycloid. Find parametric equations for the epicycloid. Hypocycloid A circle C of radius b rolls on the inside of a larger circle of radius a centered at the origin. Let P be a fixed point on the smaller circle, with the initial position at the point (a,0) as shown in the figure.
