Objectives:
•Define a hyperbola
•Determine the standard
form of an equation of
hyperbola
•Graph a hyperbola in a
rectangular coordinate
system.
Introduction:
•A hyperbola is formed
when a plane
intersects a double-
napped cone. When
the plane is parallel to
the axis of the cone,
then rectangular
hyperbola is obtained.
Definition of Terms
•Hyperbola – the set of all points 𝑃, the
difference of whose distances from two
specified points 𝐹1 and 𝐹2 is a constant
number.
•The graph of hyperbola consist of two
different parts which are called branches.
Definition of Terms
•Transverse axis – the segment that joins
the vertices of the hyperbola.
•Asymptotes – broken lines which graph
of the hyperbola approaches.
•Latus Rectum – the chord through a focus
and perpendicular to the transverse axis.
