To Be (a Circle) or Not to Be?
Résumé
We begin with a high school exercise, determining whether a particular equation describes an arc of a circle. We give several proofs that it does not, exploring many properties of circles along the way. Yet the curve is the arc of a conic.We then explore which equations of a generalized family are arcs of conics and give some properties of the resulting Lamé curves.
