Let $k$ be a circle and $l$–line that is tangent to $k$ in point $P$. On $l$ from the two sides of $P$ are chosen arbitrary points $A$ and $B$. The tangents through $A$ and $B$ to $k$, different than $l$, intersect in point $C$. Find the geometric place of points $C$, when $A$ and $B$ change in such way so that $AP.BP$ is a constant.
