What I Need to Know

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

• define hyperbola
• illustrate hyperbola according to its definition

What’s In

Did you know?

A spacecraft can use the gravity of a

planet to alter its path and propel it at a
high speed away from the planet and back
out into space using a technique called
"gravitational slingshot".

If this happens, then the path of the

spacecraft is a hyperbola.

Combining the two (2) graphs, we now

have the graph of 𝑦 = .
𝑥

1
From the graph, it can be seen that the equation 𝑦 = has the same shape
𝑥
as the graph of hyperbola but rotated by 450. To prove that it is the same as the
standard hyperbola, you can check for yourself that it has two focal points and
that all have the same difference of distances. Another way to prove it algebraically
is to construct a rotated x-y coordinate plane.

What is It

Consider the points F1(10,0) and F2(-10,0) (see figure 1).

What is the absolute value of the difference of the distances
32
of point A(10, ) from F1 and F2.. What about the difference of
3
the distances of B(7.5,-6) from F1 and F2.

𝐴𝐹1 − 𝐴𝐹2 = |18.5 − 6.5| = 12

68 32
𝐵𝐹1 − 𝐵𝐹2 = | − | = 12
3 3

There are also other points P such that the difference of its distances from F1 and F2 equals 12.
These set of points P forms a shape called hyperbola.

ix
4
 Definition: Let F1 and F2 be two distinct
points. The set of all points P
such that the difference of its
distances from point F1 and from
F2 equals a certain constant is
called a hyperbola. The point F1
and F2 are the foci of the
hyperbola (Garces, 2016).

Figure 1

Proof: Finding the standard form of equation of hyperbola

Figure 2

In figure 2, F1 (-c,0) and F2 (c,0) are points on the x-axis. They are the foci of
the hyperbola which is c units away from the origin. The origin is the midpoint of the
foci which is the center of the hyperbola. Let P(x,y) be a point on the hyperbola, and
2a be the absolute value of the difference of the distances of P from F1 and F2.
Thus, |𝑃𝐹1 − 𝑃𝐹2 | = 2𝑎. So
Substitution:
|𝑃𝐹1 − 𝑃𝐹2 | = 2𝑎 𝑃𝐹1 = √(𝑥 + 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2 &
𝑃𝐹1 = 2𝑎 + 𝑃𝐹2 𝑃𝐹2 = √(𝑥 − 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2
√(𝑥 + 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2 = 2𝑎 + √(𝑥 − 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2
Square both sides of the equation
(𝑥 + 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2 = 4𝑎2 + 4𝑎√(𝑥 − 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2 + (𝑥 − 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2
2𝑐𝑥 = 4𝑎2 + 4𝑎√(𝑥 − 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2 − 2𝑐𝑥
Simplify
4𝑐𝑥 − 4𝑎2 = 4𝑎√(𝑥 − 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2
𝑐𝑥 − 𝑎2 = 𝑎√(𝑥 − 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2 Square both sides of the equation
𝑐2𝑥2 − 2𝑎2 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑎4 = 𝑎2 [(𝑥 − 𝑐)2 + 𝑦 2]
𝑐2𝑥2 − 2𝑎2 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑎4 = 𝑎2 𝑥 2 − 2𝑎2 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑎2 𝑐 2 + 𝑎2 𝑦 2 Simplify

x5
 𝑐 2 𝑥 2 + 𝑎4 = 𝑎2 𝑥 2 + 𝑎2 𝑐 2 + 𝑎2 𝑦 2
𝑐 2 𝑥 2 − 𝑎2 𝑥 2 − 𝑎2 𝑦 2 = 𝑎2 𝑐 2 − 𝑎4 Factoring by finding common
(𝑐 2 − 𝑎2 )𝑥 2 − 𝑎2 𝑦 2 = 𝑎2 (𝑐 2 − 𝑎2 )
Divide both sides by 𝑎2 (𝑐 2 − 𝑎2 )

Let 𝑐 = √𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 .

➢ Center: origin (0,0)

➢ Foci: F1 (-c,0) and F2 (c,0)

✓ Each focus is c units away from the center.

➢ Vertices: V1 (-a,0) and V2 (a,0)

✓ Vertices are points on the hyperbola.
✓ Each vertex is a unit away from the center.
✓ The length of V1 V2 is 2a. The segment V1 V2 is called the transverse axis.

➢ Asymptotes: 𝑦 = 𝑥 and 𝑦 = − 𝑥

✓ Asymptotes of the hyperbola are two lines passing to the center and serve
as guide in graphing the hyperbola.
✓ To find the equation of the hyperbola, replace 1 by 0 in the standard
equation and solve for y.

Other Properties of Hyperbola

What I Need to Know

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:

• identify the different properties of hyperbola

What’s In
Do you know?

Either of the branches

of a hyperbola is a curve where
the distances of a focus and a
fixed straight line called
directrix are always in the same
ratio.

This ratio is called the eccentricity,

and for a hyperbola it is always greater
than 1.

What’s New

𝑥2 𝑦2
The standard equation of a hyperbola is − 𝑏2 = 1, where its center is at the
𝑎2
origin.

1. What do you think will happen if we change the direction of

the opening of its curve from left and right to up and down?

2. What if we move the graph and its center will be at any part
of the plane, what will happen to its equation?

 What Is It

The hyperbola we had in the previous lesson are horizontal and have centers at the
origin. Some hyperbolas have center not at the origin, and some have foci that are
aligned vertically. The following are the derivations of the standard equation of the
hyperbola having different properties.

Center: C(h,k) Center: C(h,k)

Transverse axis: horizontal Transverse axis: vertical

xiv
We let 𝑐 2 = 𝑎2 − 𝑏 2 in all cases above. The vertices V1 and V2 are a unit away from
the center. The transverse axis V1V2 has a length 2a. The foci F1 and F2 are c units
away from the center. The conjugate axis has a length 2b and is perpendicular with
the transverse axis. The point of intersection of conjugate and transverse axis is the
center of the hyperbola. The asymptotes are diagonals formed through auxiliary
triangle determined by the conjugate and transverse axis. The equation of the
asymptotes can be determined by replacing 1 by 0 in the standard equation.

In the standard equation, here are no restrictions on a and b. Thus, a and b can be
both equal. The orientation of the hyperbola is determined by the variable in the first
term. If the variable in the first term is x, the hyperbola is horizontal. This means
that the transverse axis is horizontal. If the variable in the first term is y, the
hyperbola is vertical so as the transverse axis.

Examples: Determine the coordinates of the center, foci, vertices and equation of
the asymptotes of the following hyperbola.

(𝑦+1)2 (𝑥−2)2
1. − =1
25 36

Solution: So,
Center: C(2,-1)
The hyperbola is vertical.
𝑎2 = 25 and 𝑏 2 = 36. So 𝑎 = 5 , 𝑏 = 6 and Foci: F1(2, −1 + √61) ≈ (2,6.8)
𝑐 = √25 + 36 = √61 ≈ 7.8. F2(2, −1 − √61) ≈ (2, −8.8)

Solution:

4(𝑥 2 + 8𝑥) − 9(𝑦 2 − 6𝑦) = 53
4(𝑥 2 + 8𝑥 + 16) − 9(𝑦 2 − 6𝑦 + 9) = 53 + 64 − 81 Center: C(-4,3)
4(𝑥 + 4)2 − 9(𝑦 − 3)2 = 36

The hyperbola is horizontal. Vertices: V1 (−4 + 9,3) = (5, 3)
