Exercises Locus Equation

The document contains 14 problems involving finding the equations of loci (paths or sets) of moving points based on given conditions relating distances or angles between the moving points and fixed points. The problems cover a variety of loci scenarios including constant distances from fixed points, equal distances between two fixed points, ratios of distances between fixed points, points on circles, and tangents or intersections with other curves or lines.
