Center of Rectangular Hyperbola on Nine-Point Circle

by AlastorMoody, Jun 1, 2019, 1:08 PM

Lemma: Let $\mathcal{H}$ be rectangular hyperbola with a point $P$ on it and center $G$. The reflection of $P$ over $G$ lies on $\mathcal{H}$
Problem: Let $\Delta ABC $ be a triangle inscribed in a rectangular hyperbola $\mathcal {H} $. Prove, that the center of $\mathcal {H} $ lies on the Nine-Point Circle WRT $\Delta ABC $
Proof: Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a fixed rectangular hyperbola through vertices of $\Delta ABC$. If $H$ is the orthocenter WRT $\Delta ABC$, then $H$ lies on $\mathcal{H}$. Let $E_A, E_B, E_C$ be the midpoints of $AH, BH, CH$. Let $\Delta H_AH_BH_C$ be the orthic triangle WRT $\Delta ABC$. $\implies$ $E_AE_BE_CH_AH_BH_C$ is the Nine-Point Circle WRT $\Delta ABC$. Let the tangent to $\mathcal{H}$ at $A,H$ ; $B,H$ and $C,H$ intersect at $K, M, N$, then $E_AK, E_BM, E_CN$ intersect at $P$ which is the center of $\mathcal{H}$. Consider the reflections of $H,A,B,C$ over $P$ to $Q, R, S, T$. Then, $Q, R, S, T$ lies on $\mathcal{H}$. Obviously $AHRQ$ is a parallelogram. Apply Pascal's Theorem on $HHRQQA$ $\implies$ $H-$tangent to $\mathcal{H}$ and the $Q-$tangent to $\mathcal{H}$ are parallel. Let $QS$ $\cap$ $AC$ $=$ $U$, $QR$ $\cap$ $BC$ $=$ $V$ and $QT$ $\cap$ $AB$ $=$ $W$. Then $\Delta VUW$ is the pedal triangle of $Q$ WRT $\Delta ABC$. Apply Pascal's Theorem on $SQRACB$ and $TCBARQ$ $\implies$ $VUW$ is the Simson Line $\implies$ $Q$ lies on $\odot (ABC)$ $\implies$ $P$ lies on Nine-Point Circle. $\qquad \blacksquare$

Remark: If $Q$ is the fourth intersection of Circum-Rectangular Hyperbola $\mathcal{H}$ of $\Delta ABC$ with $\odot (ABC)$, then Simson Line of $Q$ passes through center of $\mathcal{H}$

Why $E_AK, E_BM, E_CN$ pass through $P$?

I'll talk about all possible non-sense :D

  • @below I wish I started earlier / didn't have to do JEE and leave oly way before I could study conics and projective stuff which I really wanted to study :( . Huh, life really sucks when u are forced due to peer pressure to read sh_t u dont want to read

  • Lots of good stuffs here.

  • But even if he went to jee he could continue with this.

    Doing JEE(and completely leaving oly) seems like a insult to the oly math he knows

  • Ohhh did he go for JEE? Good for him, bad for us :sadge:. Hmmm so that is the reason why he is inactive
    Btw @below finally everyone falls to the monopoly of JEE :) Coz IIT's are the best in India.

  • This site would work faster if not all diagrams were displayed on the initial page. Anyway I like your problem selection taste.
