  1. Hyperbolas Sec. 8.3a

  2. Definition: Hyperbola A hyperbola is the set of all points in a plane whose distances from two fixed points in the plane have a constant difference. The fixed points are the foci of the hyperbola. The line through the foci is the focal axis. The point on the focal axis midway between the foci is the center. The points where the hyperbola intersects its focal axis are the vertices of the hyperbola. How is this different from an ellipse???

  3. Definition: Hyperbola Focus Vertex Vertex Focus Center Focal Axis

  4. Deriving the Equation of a Hyperbola Notice: 0 Combining: Distance Formula:

  5. Deriving the Equation of a Hyperbola

  6. Deriving the Equation of a Hyperbola Let Divide both sides by

  7. Deriving the Equation of a Hyperbola This equation is the standard form of the equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with the x-axis as its focal axis. When the y-axis is the focal axis? Chord – segment with endpoints on the hyperbola Transverse Axis – chord lying on the focal axis, connecting the vertices (length = 2a) Conjugate Axis – segment (length = 2b) that is perp. to the focal axis and has the center of the hyperbola as its midpoint

  8. Deriving the Equation of a Hyperbola This equation is the standard form of the equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with the x-axis as its focal axis. When the y-axis is the focal axis? Semitransverse Axis – the number “a” Semiconjugate Axis – the number “b”

  9. Deriving the Equation of a Hyperbola The hyperbola has two asymptotes, which can be found by replacing the “1” in the equation with a “0”: Solve for y Drawing Practice: Steps to sketching the hyperbola
