Study Notes
Evolute of Curves
- The evolute refers to the locus of the centers of curvature of a given curve.
- An evolute can represent a circle in specific cases.
Envelope Definition
- An envelope is a curve that is tangent to each member of a family of curves.
- For families of curves, there are defined procedures to find the envelope.
Procedure for Finding Envelope
Case 1: One Parameter Family of Curves
- Consider curves described by ( y = f(x, α) ).
- Step 1: Partially differentiate with respect to the parameter ( α ) and solve for ( α ).
- Step 2: Substitute the value of ( α ) back into the original family equation to find the envelope.
- Special Case: If the curve is quadratic in ( α ), the envelope is identified by setting the discriminant to zero ( B² - 4AC = 0 ).
Case 2: Two Parameter Family of Curves
- Consider curves represented as ( y = f(x, α, β) ), connected by a relation ( g(α, β) = 0 ).
- Step 1: Differentiate both equations with respect to ( α ) while treating ( β ) as dependent.
- Step 2: Eliminate ( α ) and ( β ) to obtain the envelope.
Example Problems
-
Envelope of Straight Lines:
- Find the envelope of ( y = mx + am p ).
- Differentiate to express parameters, substitute to eliminate, and derive the envelope equation.
-
Envelope of Circular Family:
- For the equation ( x \sin θ - y \cos θ = aθ ), differentiate and solve for ( x ) and ( y ), leading to an expression for ( y ).
-
Leibnitz’s Problem:
- Calculate the envelope of circles centered on the x-axis, radii proportional to the x-coordinate. Resulting envelope can be summarized as ( 4xy = 1 ).
-
Family of Straight Lines:
- Given straight-line equations connected by a linear relation, derive the envelope ( x + y = 1 ).
Circle Equation for Generating Family
- The equation for circles passing through the origin with centers at ( (α, β) ) is given by ( x² + y² - 2αx - 2βy = 0 ).
Differentiation for Normal Lines
- The normal line to a hyperbola can be defined, providing relationships that allow the extraction of coordinates based on derivatives.
Result of Evolute for Hyperbola
- The derived relationships through differentiation offer insights into the evolute of the hyperbola ( a²b² = 1 ), leading to specific parametric results.
Conclusion
- Understanding envelopes and evolutes offers fundamental insight into geometry and curvature, enriching knowledge in calculus and differential equations.
