A geometry problem by Pankhuri Agarwal

Geometry Level 4

Consider a circle in the X Y XY plane with diameter 1 1 , passing through the origin O O and through a point A = ( 1 , 0 ) A=(1,0) . For any point B B on the circle, let C C be the point of intersection of the line O B OB with the vertical line through A A . If M M is the point on the line O B C OBC such that O M OM and B C BC are of equal length, then the locus of point M M as B B varies is given by the equation __________ \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_} .

y = x ( x 2 + y 2 ) 1 / 2 y=x(x^2+y^2)^{1/2} y 2 = x y^2=x y = [ x ( x 2 + y 2 ) ] 1 / 2 y=[x(x^2+y^2)]^{1/2} ( x 2 + y 2 ) x y 2 = 0 (x^2+y^2)x-y^2=0
