We study the conjugation, naturally defined in a bitangent pencil of conics, and determine the triangles, which define corresponding pencils, for which the parabola member is conjugate to the rectangular hyperbola member of the pencil. 1. The bitangent pencil of conics bitangent family or pencil of conics is created by quadratic equations in the form of linear combinations α (f(x) g(x))+β h(x) 2 = 0, with α+β = 1, (1) where {f(x) = g(x) = h(x) = 0,x R 2 } are equations of lines in general position and{α, β} are real constants ([1, II.p.194]). The family consists of conics, κ' f(x)=0 g(x)=0 M h(x)=0 ' κ Figure 1. itangent family of conics which are tangent to the lines {f = 0,g = 0} at their intersections {,} with the line h = 0. Thus, is a chord also common to all member-conics of the pencil, and the intersection point of the two tangents, common to all members, is the pole of the line again with respect to all these members (see Figure 1). Since the median line of the triangle is the conjugate diameter of with respect to all members of the family, the centers of these conics lie on this line. Some general facts of a slightly more general kind of such families, in which the product of lines f(x) g(x) = 0 is replaced by a general conic c(x) = 0, Publication Date: February 12, ommunicating Editor: Paul Yiu.
2 88 P. Pamfilos are discussed in [7]. Every bitangent family has a unique parabola member, and a unique rectangular hyperbola member. The parabola κ passes through the middle M of the median of the triangle and the rectangular hyperbola κ has its center at the projection of the orthocenter of the triangle on this median line ([4], [6]). The aim of the article is to show that these two exceptional members of a bitangent pencil are conjugate, in a sense to be explained right below, only in the case the triangles, formed by the three lines, are such that the median satisfies = The perspectivities group of a triangle triangle produces a set of three harmonic perspectivities (or harmonic homologies [8, I, p.223], [3, p.248]), which, together with the identity transformation, build a group of projective transformations having the vertices of the triangle for fixed points. The harmonic perspectivity f relative to the vertex say, is V X' κ' ' Χ U Υ ' W κ Z Z' Figure 2. Harmonic perspectivity Y = f (X) relative to defined by corresponding to a point X the point Y = f (X) on line X, so that the pairs (,U) (X,Y) are harmonic, point U being the intersection of X with (see Figure 2). The thus defined projective transformation f, leaves and pointwise fixed and maps the line, of middles of sides {,}, to the line at infinity. nalogously are defined the maps {F,F }, and, from the properties of harmonic pencils ([5, p.88]), results the commutativity and the group property of these transformations (see Figure2): f 2 = 1, f f = f f = f, and the analogous properties for cyclic permutations of the letters{,, }. onsider now the bitangent at{,} family of conicsf and the perspectivityf (X) = Z and a member-conic κ. Since is the polar of point with respect to κ, the
3 Parabola conjugate to rectangular hyperbola 89 map f leaves κ invariant. It is easy to see that the two other maps {f,f } send κ to another member κ of the family F (see Figure 2). In fact, if κ is the family member through Y = f (X) and Z = f (X), then points {X,Y,Z,Z = F (Z )} define a complete quadrilateral ([5, p.100]), from whose harmonicity properties results that Z = f (Y). onsequently the same member κ passes through {Y = f (X),Z = f (X)} and coincides with the image conic of κ under either of these maps: κ = f (κ) = f (κ). The last equality can be interpreted also by the conjugacy f = h f h 1, where h = h 1 is the affine reflection ([3, p.203]), defined by the lines {,}. Since these are conjugate diameters for each conic of the bitangent pencil F, the transformation h leaves every such conic invariant. We call two member-conics of the bitangent pencil F, like {κ,κ }, conjugate. Each of them results from the other by applying the perspectivity f or f. The property to be proved below is the following. Theorem 1. The parabola member of the familyf is conjugate to the rectangular hyperbola member, if and only if, the triangle and its median satisfy = Hyperbola conjugate to ellipse Using the notation and conventions adopted in the previous sections, we study the case in which the member-conic κ of the pencil F has a conjugate κ, which is a hyperbola. This is always the case for the parabola member of the pencil as well as for any other conic memberκcontained in the same angular region, defined by the two lines {,}, in which lies the segment. The arguments used below are valid for all kinds of such conics and we can safely work assuming thatκ is an ellipse, ultimately passing to the limiting case of the parabola. The following observations lead to the proof of the theorem. (1) The directions of the asymptotes of the hyperbola κ can be determined using the side-lines of the complementary triangle of (see Figure 3). In fact, if { 1, 2 } are the intersections of κ with line, send to infinity by f, then, because of the affine symmetry h, the points { 1 = h( 1 ), 2 = h( 2 )} are on the line, send to infinity by f. Using the commutativity properties of the maps {f,f,f,h}, we see immediately that {( 1, 2 ),( 1, 2 )} are pairs of lines parallel to asymptotic directions of the hyperbola κ. In addition, it is seen that {( 1, 2,),( 1, 2,)} are triples of collinear points, and that { 1 1, 2 2 } are parallel to the line, which implies that the intersectionsi = ( 2, 2 ) andj = ( 1, 1 ) are on line. (2) onsider now the intersections {E 1,E 2 } of κ with line, send to infinity byf. We may assume that{e 1,E 2 } are parallel, respectively, to the asymptotic directions { 1, 1 } of κ. ForE 1 this means that f (E 1 ) = f ( 1 ) E 1 = f (f ( 1 )) = f ( 1 ),

The conjugate toκ, hyperbola κ, and its asymptotes so that {, 1,E 1 } are collinear points. nalogously is also seen that {, 1,E 2 } are collinear points. (3) The polars of every point G on with respect to the conics {κ,κ } are the same, since they must pass through and the harmonic conjugate G of G with respect to (,). In particular, the intersection points {D 1 = (, 1 ),G 1 = (,E 1 )} are harmonic conjugate with respect to (,) and the polar of one passes through the other i.e. D 1 is the polar of G 1 and G 1 is the polar of D 1 with respect to either conic. nalogous property holds also for the intersection points {D 2 = (, 2 2 ),G 1 = (,E 2 )}. (4) Now, since the polarg 1 ofd 1 with respect toκ is parallel to an asymptote, intersecting the hyperbola at E 1, the point D 1 must itself be on that asymptote and the tangent to the hyperbolaκ ate 1 must pass throughd 1 ([2, p.281]). Hence if O is the center of the hyperbola, then OD 1 is the asymptote parallel to G 1. nalogously, point D 2 = ( 1,) is on the tangent to κ at E 2 and lineod 2 is the other asymptote. (5) y the symmetry of the configuration with respect to the affine reflectionh, we have that {E 2 = h(e 1 ),D 2 = h(d 1 ),G 2 = h(g 1 )} define segments {D 1 D 2,E 1 E 2,G 1 G 2 } having their middles on.
5 Parabola conjugate to rectangular hyperbola 91 (6) y the parallelism of{g 1, 1,OD 1, 2 } follows that these parallels intersect one 1 a harmonic quadruple. lso, since the polar ofd 1 passes throughe 1, the polar ofe 1 with respect toκmust pass throughd 1, hence it coincides with the asymptote OD 1 of κ. nalogously the polar with respect toκofe 2 is the asymptoteod 2 ofκ. It follows then thato is the pole of with respect to κ. (7) Since the tangent E 1 D 1 of κ at E 1 passes through the intersection point D 1 of the diagonals of the trapezium 1 2 and the intersection point E 1 of its non-parallel sides, it passes also through the middles of the parallel sides { 1, 2 }, hence also through the center K of κ. nalogous property holds also for the tangent E 2 D 2 to κ. It follows that line ε = is the polar of K with respect to the hyperbola κ. (8) The pencil D 1 (OK ) consists of the sides of the triangle D 1 G 1, its median D 1 E 1 and the parallel D 1 O to its base, hence it is harmonic. It follows that (O,K) (,) are harmonic pairs. In the case under consideration, in which κ is a parabola and κ is a rectangular hyperbola, the center K of κ lies at infinity and, by (8), the conjugate O to it with respect to (, ) must be coincident with the middle of (see Figure E 1 ' O ' E 2 G 1 D 1 ' D 2 Figure 4. The case of parabola conjugate to a rectangular hyperbola 4). Taking line coordinates on with origin at G 1 and setting {x = G 1,y = G 1 D 1, = d}, the harmonicity relation becomes G 1 G 1 = D 1 D 1 x x+d = y x x+d y. Taking into account the parallelism of {G 1,D 1 J} and the orthogonality of the trianglejd 1 D 2, we find that{x,y} satisfy also the equation 2x 4y +d = 0. From these equations, eliminatingx, we deduce the equation8y 2 d 2 = 0, which, because of y = D 1 = J = /2, is equivalent to the necessity condition of the theorem. The sufficiency of the condition is an easy reversing of the sequence of arguments and is left as an exercise.
