00:01 Welcome to this tutorial on Conic Sections - Hyperbola.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will:

Study standard equations and parts of hyperbolae

00:13 Learn how to use GeoGebra to construct a hyperbola.
00:18 Here I am using:

Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04 , GeoGebra 5.0.388.0 hyphen d

00:33 To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with

GeoGebra interface

00:40 Conic Sections in geometry

00:48 Hyperbola,

Consider two fixed points F1 and F2 called foci.

00:57 A hyperbola is the locus of points whose difference of distances from these foci is constant.
01:07 In the image, observe that foci of a hyperbola lie along the transverse axis.
01:15 They are equidistant from the center which lies on the conjugate axis.
01:22 2b is the length of the conjugate axis.
01:27 c is the distance of each focus from the center.
01:33 The conjugate axis is perpendicular to the transverse axis.
01:38 The hyperbola intersects the transverse axis at the vertices A and B.
01:46 a is the distance of each vertex from the center.
01:52 The latus recti pass through the foci.
01:56 They are perpendicular to the transverse axis.
02:00 Be careful to distinguish lengths from letters used for sliders, circles and hyperbolae.
02:08 Let us construct a hyperbola in GeoGebra.
02:13 I have already opened the GeoGebra interface.
02:18 Click on Point tool and click twice in Graphics view.
02:26 This creates two points A and B, which will be the foci of our hyperbola.
02:33 Right-click on A and choose the Rename option.
02:39 In the New Name field, type F1 and click OK.
02:45 This will be one of our foci, F1.
02:49 Let us rename point B as F2.
02:53 Click on Slider tool and click in Graphics view.
03:00 A Slider dialog-box appears in Graphics view.
03:04 Stay with the default Number selection.
03:08 In the Name field, type k.
03:12 Set Min value as 0, Max value as 10, increment as 0.1, click OK.
03:26 This creates a number slider named k.
03:30 Using this slider, k can be changed from 0 to 10.
03:36 k will be the difference of the distances of any point on the hyperbola from the foci, F1 and F2.
03:45 Drag slider k to 4.
03:49 We will create another number slider named a.
03:54 Its Min value is 0, Max value is 25,increment is 0.1.
04:02 Click on Circle with Center and Radius tool and click on F1.
04:10 A text-box appears; type a and click OK.
04:17 Drag a to a value between 2 and 3.
04:23 A circle c with center F1 and radius a appears.
04:29 Drag slider a to 5.
04:33 Under Move Graphics View, click on Zoom Out tool.
04:39 Click in Graphics view.
04:42 Click on Move Graphics View to move the background as required.
04:48 Click again on Circle with Center and Radius tool and click on F2.
04:56 In the text-box, type a minus k and click OK.
05:03 Circle d with center F2 and radius a minus k appears.
05:10 Click again on Circle with Center and Radius tool and click on F2.
05:18 In the text-box, type a plus k and click OK.
05:25 Circle e with center F2 and radius a plus k appears.
05:32 Set slider k between 1 and 2, slider a between 3 and 4.
05:40 Under Point, click on Intersect.
05:46 Then click on circles c and d and circles c and e.
05:55 This creates points A, B, C and D.
06:05 Under Line, click on Segment and click on points A and F1 to join them.
06:15 Then click on points A and F2 to join them.
06:21 Similarly, using Segment tool, join B and F1 as well as B and F2.
06:31 Click on Move.
06:34 Double click on segment AF1 and click on Object Properties.
06:42 In the left panel, segment AF1 is already highlighted.
06:48 Holding Ctrl Key down, click and highlight segments AF2, BF1 and BF2.
06:58 Under the Basic tab, make sure Show Label is checked.
07:03 Choose Name and Value from the dropdown menu next to it.
07:08 Under the Color tab, select red.
07:12 Under the Style tab, select dashed line style.
07:17 Close the Preferences box.
07:20 Click on Move if it is not highlighted.
07:24 Move the labels to see them properly in Graphics view.
07:30 Now, let us carry out the same steps for segments CF1, CF2, DF1 and DF2 but make them blue.
07:39 Click on Move if it is not highlighted.
07:42 And move the labels to see them properly in Graphics view.
07:49 Right-click on points A, B, C and D and select Trace On option.
08:03 Set slider k at 1.
08:07 Drag slider a to both ends of the slider.
08:12 Set first k at 2.
08:17 Then at 3.
08:21 At 5.
08:24 And finally at 10.
08:28 Observe the traces of hyperbolae for the different values of a and k
08:34 Let us look at the equations of hyperbolae.
08:38 Open a new GeoGebra window.
08:41 In the input bar, type the following line describing the difference of two fractions equal to 1.
08:48 To type the caret symbol, hold the Shift key down and press 6.
08:53 For the 1st fraction, type the numerator as x minus h in parentheses caret 2.

Then type division slash.

09:03 Now, type the denominator of the 1st fraction as a caret 2 followed by minus.
09:11 For the 2nd fraction, type the numerator as y minus k in parentheses caret 2.

Then type division slash.

09:01 Now, type the denominator of the 2nd fraction as b caret 2 followed by equals sign 1.

Press Enter.

09:31 A pop-up window asks if you want to create sliders for a, b, h and k.
09:38 Click on Create Sliders.
09:41 This creates number sliders for h, a, k and b.
09:48 By default, they go from minus 5 to 5 and are set at 1.
09:54 You can double-click on the sliders to see their properties.
09:58 A hyperbola appears in Graphics view.
10;02 Under Move Graphics View, click on Zoom Out and then in Graphics view.
10:11 Click on Move Graphics View and drag Graphics view to see the hyperbola properly.
10:20 In Algebra view, note the equation for hyperbola c.
10:25 Drag the boundary to see it properly.
10:29 Keep track of the equations appearing in Algebra view as you drag the sliders from end to end.
10:36 You will see the effects on the shape of hyperbola c.
10:41 Place the cursor over the equation in Algebra view.
10:46 Note that a is associated with the x minus h squared component of the equation.
10:53 It controls the horizontal movement of hyperbola c.
11:00 Associated with the y minus k squared component is b.
11:06 It controls the vertical movement of hyperbola c.
11:12 Note that the transverse axis of hyperbola c is horizontal like the x axis.
11:19 Drag slider a to 2, leaving b at 1.
11:25 When a is greater than b, the arms of the hyperbola are closer to the x axis.
11:32 Note the equation of the hyperbola.
11:36 Drag the boundary to see it properly.
11:39 With slider a at 2, drag slider b to 3.
11:44 When a is less than b, the arms of the hyperbola stretch closer to the y axis.
11:52 Note the equation of hyperbola c.
11:56 Drag the boundary to see it properly.
12:00 With slider a at 2, drag slider b back to 1.
12:06 Click in and drag Graphics view to see the hyperbola properly.
12:12 In the input bar, type Focus c in parentheses and press Enter.
12:20 Two foci, A and B, are mapped in Graphics view.
12:25 Their coordinates appear in Algebra view.
12:29 In the input bar, type Center c in parentheses and press Enter.
12:37 Center, point C, appears in Graphics view.
12:42 Its co-ordinates appear in Algebra view.
12:46 Note that the center has the coordinates h comma k.
12:52 Drag sliders h and k from end to end.
12:59 Note the effects on hyperbola c.
13:02 In the input bar, type Vertex c in parentheses and press Enter.
13:11 Vertices, D and E, appear on hyperbola c.
13:17 Let us drag a so we can see the vertices clearly.
13:23 Drag the boundary to see Graphics view properly.
13:28 Click in Graphics view and drag the background so you can see the hyperbola properly.
13:34 Drag slider a back to 2.
13:38 Under Slider, click on Text and click in Graphics view.
13:45 A text-box opens up.

In the Edit field, type the following text.

13:52 Press Enter after each line to go to the next line and

Click OK.

13:58 Refer to additional material provided with this tutorial for these calculations.
14:05 Click on Move Graphics View and drag the background so you can see the hyperbola.
14:13 Uncheck equation c and all points and text generated for hyperbola c in Algebra view.
14:25 Follow the earlier steps to construct hyperbola d for these two conditions.
