Coordinate Geometry
This example demonstrates the locus of an ellipse by dynamically adjusting parameters to observe trajectory changes. Key math concepts include ellipse definition, parametric equations, and coordinate geometry. Construction involves GeoGebra commands like Ellipse, Point, Segment, and Distance. Suitable for high school mathematics teaching to understand the relationship between locus and parametric equations.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Ellipse(A, B, 5) → c
  2. Point(c) → D
  3. Segment(B, C) → f
  4. Segment(C, A) → g
  5. Distance(A, C) → AC
  6. Distance(B, C) → BC
