Key Features and Equations of Hyperbolas

The document defines a hyperbola and its key features. A hyperbola is the set of all points whose distance from two fixed points (foci) differs by a constant. It has two branches, vertices where it meets the transverse axis, and asymptotes that guide its graph. The standard forms of horizontal and vertical hyperbolas are presented along with their foci, vertices, and asymptotes. An example problem finds these features for a given hyperbola equation.

HYPERBOLA

WEEK 4
At the end of the session the students are expected
to:

• Define a hyperbola STEM_PC11AG-Id-1


• Determine the standard form of a hyperbola
STEM_PC11AG-Id-2
• Graph a hyperbola in a rectangular coordinate
system STEM_PC11AG-Id-3
Let and be two distinct points. The set of all points P,
whose distances from and from differ by a certain
constant, is called a hyperbola. The points and are called
the foci of the hyperbola.
FEATURES OF HYPERBOLA

Foci
• Two distinct fixed
points in the
hyperbola

Note:
can be horizontal/ vertical
FEATURES OF HYPERBOLA
2a
Transverse axis
• A line segment joining
the vertices

FEATURES OF HYPERBOLA

Vertices
• are points on the
hyperbola, collinear with
the center and foci.
FEATURES OF HYPERBOLA

Conjugate Axis
• A line segment joining 2b
the co-vertices

FEATURES OF HYPERBOLA

Center
• A point where transverse
and conjugate axis
intersects.
FEATURES OF HYPERBOLA

Asymptotes
• are two lines passing through
the center which serve as a
guide in graphing the hyperbola
• each branch of the hyperbola
gets closer and closer to the
asymptotes, in the direction
towards which the branch
extends
