formed by in-version with respect to the circle (0, a)into a circle passing through 0 andthrough the pole P of I; as this circlemust obviously be symmetric with respectto OP it must have OP as diameter. Aiiypoint Pi of / is transformed by inversion into that point Q of the circle of diameter OP at… … Fig. 40 VI, § 96] THE CIRCLE. QUADRATIC EQUATIONS 105 The pole Pi (^f any line h can therefore be constructed as the intersec-tion of the polars of any two points of ?i ; this is of advantage when theline /i does not meet the circle. And the polar li of any point Pi can beconstructed as the line…
