(10 points) 1. Find the two pairs of focuses and directrices of the ellipse x^2 + 4y^2 + 2x = 0.
(5 points) (b)x^2 + 8xy + 16y^2 − x + 8y − 12 = 0
(10 points) 4. On a trianglepoints on side ABC CA so that, D and ∠ DCBE′^ are points on side = ∠E′BA, and BC F andso that F ′ (^) are points on sides ∠BAD = ∠D′AC ,AB E and so that E′^ are ∠ACF = ∠F ′CB. Suppose that AD, BE, CF are concurrent. Show that AD′, BE′, CF ′^ are also concurrent. Hint: You may use BDDC = ABAC^ sinsin^ ∠∠BADDAC.
(5 points) 6. (a)Find the affine transformation which maps the points
and
to the points
and
, respectively.
(5 points) (b)Find the projective transformation which maps the Points [1[1, 1 , 1] to the Points [2, 1 , 0], [1, 0 , −1], [0, 3 , −1] and [3, − 1 , 2]., 0 , 0], [0, 1 , 0], [0, 0 , 1] and
(5 points) (c)Find the Point of intersection of the Lines L 1 : x + 2y + 5z = 0 and L 2 : 3x − y + z = 0.
(10 points) 8. Find the imagies of the circles |z| = 1 and |z| = 2 under the M¨obius transformation t(z) = z z^ −+^2 i.
(10 points) 9. Letthe inversion of C be a circle with radius P in C. Then the line r and centered at p through O P. For any ordinary point ′ (^) and perpendicular to OP PP 6 = O′ (^) is called the, let P ′^ be polar of P for the circle C. Show that, if the polar of P passes through a point Q, then the polar of Q passes through P.
