MATH Integrated Math II  - Unit 34: Loci
Loci

For all the graphs shown in this unit, each notch on the x- and y-axes represents one unit, unless otherwise specified.

1) A Locus is the set of all points that satisfy a given condition or set of conditions.

2) Loci (plural of locus) are collections of points.

3) As a windmill blade turns, the locus of points created by the path that point P covers in one complete rotation is what shape?

4) If point P followed the path created by a rainbow, what shape is the locus of points?

For the next three problems, identify the geometric figure formed by the description of the locus of points. Assume that the points are located in a plane.
