125. The cuspidal curve is given by the equations
| 3 (a -f-1),
— %ay — ¡3, ay*- + у :
II - 2ay - /3,
ay 2 + y, -S
or say by the equations
3 (a +1) (ay* + y) - (2ay + (3)*- = 0,
that is
a (a — 3) y*- + 4,a/3y — 3 (a +• 1 ) у = 0,
and
— 3 (a + 1) В + (2ay + /3) (ay* + y) = 0,
consequently o' = 6. It is to be added that the cuspidal curve is a complete inter
section, 2x3.
Section IX = 12 — 2B 3 .
