A Point and a Circle

This activity belongs to the GeoGebra book GeoGebra Principia. If the point is inside the circle, we obtain an ellipse, and if it's outside, a branch of a hyperbola. The implicit curve of the ellipse or branch of the hyperbola is given by the equation:     XA – Xc = 0   Note that a construction similar to the one for the parabola also allows us to generate this locus.
Author of the construction of GeoGebra: Rafael Losada.
