Let ABCABC be a triangle. Find all points PP on segment BCBC satisfying the following property: If XX and YY are the intersections of line PAPA with the common external tangent lines of the circumcircles of triangles PABPAB and PACPAC , then (PAXY)2+PB⋅PCAB⋅AC=1.\left(\frac{PA}{XY}\right)^2+\frac{PB\cdot PC}{AB\cdot AC}=1.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Let ABC be a triangle.  Find all points P on segment BC satisfying the following property:  If X and Y are the intersections of line PA with the common external tangent lines of the circumcircles of triangles PAB and PAC , then ((PA)/(XY))²+(PB⋅PC)/(AB⋅AC)=1.
Original LaTeX notation
Let $ABC$ be a triangle.  Find all points $P$ on segment $BC$ satisfying the following property:  If $X$ and $Y$ are the intersections of line $PA$ with the common external tangent lines of the circumcircles of triangles $PAB$ and $PAC$ , then \[\left(\frac{PA}{XY}\right)^2+\frac{PB\cdot PC}{AB\cdot AC}=1.\]
