Hyperbola

Has two foci and two vertices.

A hyperbola also looks like two mirrored parabolas whose


vertices lie on the same horizontal or vertical line and with
opposite openings of the graphs.

A hyperbola is formed when a plane intersects a double-


napped cone. When the plane is parallel to the axis of the
cone, then a regular hyperbola is obtained.

Hyperbola is the set of all points P in a plane such that the sequence.
difference of its distance from two fixed points, called the
foci, is constant. An infinite series is the sum of all the terms of an infinite
sequence.
The graph of a hyperbola consists of two different parts
which are called branches.

The segment that joints the vertices is called the


transverse axis of the hyperbola.

The broken lines which the graph of the hyperbola


approaches is called the asymptotes of the hyperbola.

The chord through a focus and perpendicular to the


transverse axis is called the latus rectum of the hyperbola.
Its length is given by 2b2/a.

The segment that joints point B and B’ is called the


conjugate axis. The point where the transverse and Systems of Nonlinear Equations
