Find the locus: • What is the equation of the locus of points equidistant from the linesx = -4 and x = 2? • x = -1
Compound Locus Geometry Unit 7, Day 5 Mr. Zampetti
Objective: • To learn how to find the a compound locus
Definition • Compound Locus – a problem involving two or more locus conditions occurring at the same time • These different conditions are usually separated by “and” or “and also”
Problem: • A treasure is buried in your backyard. A dog house is 8 feet from a stump and 18 feet from the tree. The treasure is equidistant from the dog house and the tree ANDALSO 6 feet from the stump. Locate all possible points of the buried treasure.
Solving Compound Locus Problems • Step 1: Draw the diagram showing the information in the problem.
