Or (A^—x^)^=B, and this value substituted B^ 2^2 in the last equation, gives y=dz Whence is the A A measure of the parameter of any ellipse, by Def. 10. PROPOSITION II. Every diameter is bisected in the center. Let X, and y, be the co-ordinates of the point D, and x\ y\the co-ordinates of the point by the equation of the curve And ^2y2+^2^2=^2^3. The equation of a line passingthrough the center, must be of theform y=ax. This equation combined with the equations of the curve, gives AB aAB 5^=. Ja^A^+B^ Ja^A^+B- AB , aAB Ja^A-+B^ Ja^A^+B^ These equations show that the co-ordinates of the point Dyare the same as those of the point D\ except opposite in UB is bisected at the
