Alternative proofs Parabola and tangent The above proofs of the reflective and tangent bisection properties use a line of calculus. Source: Internet

Curvature The curvature is given by Angle bisection property A local normal (perpendicular) to the ellipse at any point P on the ellipse bisects the angle to the foci. Source: Internet

Therefore, MP is the tangent to the parabola at P. Since it bisects the angle FPT, this proves the tangent bisection property. Source: Internet

It can be proven by bisection method used in proving the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, the property (1) of ultrafilters turns out to be crucial. Source: Internet
