s the pointPx moves along the line MN, its polar will revolve aboutP2, the pole of MN. Let the student prove the converse theorem, and alsoboth theorems for the hyperbola and parabola. It follows from this theorem that tangents at theextremities of any chord through Px meet on RS. Forthe pole of… … Fig. 86. 160 ANALYTIC GEOMETRY [Ch.
