hyperbola

A hyperbola is defined as the set of points where the difference in distances from two fixed points, called foci, is constant. It features a transverse axis connecting the vertices and a conjugate axis perpendicular to it, with asymptotes that intersect at the hyperbola's center but do not touch it. The document also outlines the equations and properties of hyperbolas oriented along the x-axis and y-axis, including details about their vertices, foci, and intercepts.

Hyperbol

a
A hyperbola is a set of all
points such that the
difference between the
distance from the foci is
constant.
Foci are the two fixed
points and lie on the
transverse axis.
Transverse axis the
segment connecting the
vertices its midpoint is
the center of the
hyperbola.
The one perpendicular to the
transverse axis through the
center is called the conjugate
axis. The distance along the
conjugate axis from the center
to the edge of the box that
determines the asymptotes is
represented by b.
Asymptotes intersect at
the center of the
hyperbola. It will not
intersect with the
hyperbola. Each of the
asymptotes passes
through the opposite
Auxiliary rectangle passes
through the vertices and
the endpoints of the
conjugate axis
CENTER: (0, 0) Hyperbola with foci on the x-axis Hyperbola with foci on the y-axis
