What is Hyperbola?
-is the set of all points, whose
distances from two fixed points
differbyacertainconstant.
- can be formed by intersecting a
double-napped cone with a plane in
such a manner that both nappes are
intersected
3.
Parts of Hyperbola
Thetwo fixed points are called the
foci (plural of focus) of the
hyperbola.
- c unitsawayfromthecenter
The line segment containing both
foci of a hyperbola whose endpoints
are both on the hyperbola is called
the transverse axis.
4.
The endpoints ofthe transverse
axis are called the vertices of the
hyperbola.
-collinearwith thecenterand foci
The point halfway between the foci
(the midpoint of the transverse
axis)is the center.
The line segment perpendicular to
the transverse axis is the conjugate
axis.
5.
The asymptotes ofthe hyperbola
are two lines passing through the
center which serve as guide in
graphing thehyperbola.
To help us sketch the asymptotes,
we point out that the asymptotes
are the extended diagonals of the
auxiliary rectangle.
1) Determine thefoci, vertices, and
asymptotes of the hyperbola with the
equation
2) Find the standard equation of the
hyperbola whose foci are F1(-5,0) and F2
(5,0), such that for any point on it, the
absolute value of the difference of its
distancesfromthefociis6.
