Hyperbola

[[Image:]]

Consider two fixed points F1and F2 called foci.

A hyperbola is the locus of points whose difference of distances from these foci is constant.

Hyperbola,

Consider two fixed points F1 and F2 called foci.

A hyperbola is the locus of points whose difference of distances from these foci is constant.

In the image, observe that foci of a hyperbola lie along the transverse axis.

They are equidistant from the center which lies on the conjugate axis.

2b is the length of the conjugate axis.

c is the distance of each focus from the center.

The conjugate axis is perpendicular to the transverse axis.

The hyperbola intersects the transverse axis at the vertices A and B.

a is the distance of each vertex from the center.

The latus recti pass through the foci.

They are perpendicular to the transverse axis.

Be careful to distinguish lengths from letters used for sliders, circles and hyperbolae.
