Problem Statement
Let triangle acutangle, with . the midpoint of side and a point over the side . Let the circunference with center . Let the circunference with center . is a point of and . Let a point on the opposite semiplane than respecting with the straight line ; Let the intersection of side with and the intersection of side with . Let m\angle PAX \equal{} \alpha and m\angle ABC \equal{} \beta. Find the geometric place of if it satisfies the following conditions:
(a) \frac {XY}{XZ} \equal{} \frac {XC \plus{} CP}{XB \plus{} BP}
(b) \cos(\alpha) \equal{} AB\cdot \frac {\sin(\beta )}{AP}
