To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(139) The chord of contact of the tangents (whether the coordinates be trilinear or triangular) is l{^ — y) + {m — n) a = 0. CHAPTER XVI. CONICS REFEREED TO A CIRCUMSCRIBED TRIANGLE. 202. The equation ZV + m^^'' + wV - 2W2W/37 - Inl^a - 2lma^ = (1) may be written {la, + m^ - njY - Alma^ = 0, and therefore (Art. 161) represents a conic section to which a = and ^ = are tangents, and la + m^ — W7 = 0, the chord of contact. Similarly, W2/3 + ny — la = 0, is the chord of contact of tangents /8 = and... 7 = 0, and ny+ la — m^ = 0, the chord of contact of tangents 7=0 and a = 0. Hence the equation ZV + nt"^ + n^i^ - 2mnl3y - 2nlya - 2lmoi/3 = (1 ) represents a conic section, to which the lines of reference are tangents, and — la + ?n/3 + ny = 0, la — m^ + W7 = 0, la + m^ — ny=0, the chords joining the point of contact. CONICS REFEEEED TO A CIECUMSCRIBED TRIANGLE. 207 203. It should be observed that if we write — I for I, the equation (1) takes the form ZV + w'/3' + -n^rf - 2mn^x + "^^h^ + 2?wayS = (2), and the chords of contact now become loL + m/3 + tvy = 0, loL + on^ — nj = 0, loL — m/3 + ny = 0.
