Hyperbola
A hyperbola is a discontinuous function in the form of
xy=k or y=k/x where k is a constant

A discontinuous function means the function is not a


continuous curve.

The graph is in the form of two discontinuous curves which


cannot cross asymptotes (in this case the x-axis and y-axis)

An asymptote is a line which a curve approaches but


never touches
Hyperbola

• If k is positive the curves are in the 1st and 3rd


quadrant
• If k is negative the curves are in the 2nd and 4th
quadrant
• The larger a is the further away the curve will bend
from the asymptotes
• Can also be in the form or

Real-world application
Increasing the speed at which air
moves over a person's skin increases
the rate of moisture evaporation and
makes the person feel cooler. (This is
why we fan ourselves in hot weather.)
The wind chill index is the
temperature at a wind speed of 4 mi/h
that would produce the same
sensation on exposed skin as the
current temperature and wind speed
combination. An empirical formula
(i.e., a formula based on experimental
data) for the wind chill index W at 32°
F for a wind speed of u mi/h is

Sketching the polynomials Quadratic Functions we saw how

the finding
quadratic by locating

s vertex.

Sketching polyn
omial functions
The vertex is an example of a
turning point.
For polynomials of degree greater than 2, finding turning points is not an elementary procedure
and usually requires the use of calculus, however:

•To find the y-intercept, we put x = 0.

•To find the x-intercepts, we put y = 0 and solve the corresponding polynomial equation, if
possible.
y = x3 + x2 − 6x = x(x − 2)(x + 3).

To get a picture of the overall shape of the curve, we can substitute some test points.

We can represent the sign of y using a sign diagram:

With this information, we can begin to give a sketch of the graph of y = x(x − 2)(x + 3).
