Tangent to a quartic (François Rideau)

 

François Rideau proposed another problem : the construction of the tangent to the quartic at point T .


This problem is difficult from the mathematical point of view and the confirmation with Cabri is amazing.
Here is the François Rideau's figure:

Other loci can be constructed thanks to F. Rideau's figure. The pedal of the nephroïd is a rosace:

Figure cabri (Rosace.fig)

The pedal of the quartic is a non-regular quadrifolium (four-leafed rose):
