Hyperbola Report

The document defines a hyperbola as a type of smooth curve formed by the intersection of a plane and a double cone. A hyperbola has two branches that resemble two infinite bows. The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola centered at (0,0) relates the vertices, co-vertices, and foci. An example shows how to find the equation of a hyperbola given its vertices and foci.

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF

HYPERBOLA?
◦ In mathematics, a hyperbola (plural hyperbolas or hyperbolae) is a type
of smooth curve lying in a plane, defined by its geometric properties or
by equations for which it is the solution set. A hyperbola has two pieces,
called connected components or branches, that are mirror images of each
other and resemble two infinite bows. The hyperbola is one of the three
kinds of conic section, formed by the intersection of a plane and a
double cone. (The other conic sections are the parabola and the ellipse.
A circle is a special case of an ellipse.) If the plane intersects both halves
of the double cone but does not pass through the apex of the cones, then
the conic is a hyperbola.
