THE HYPERBOLA. A hyperbola is the collection of all points in the plane the difference of whose distances from two fixed points, called the foci, is a constant. This is the same definition as an ellipse except we have the difference is always constant instead of the sum.

THE HYPERBOLA
A hyperbola is the collection of all points in the plane the difference of whose distances from two fixed points, called the foci, is a constant. This is the same definition as an ellipse except we have the difference is always constant instead of the sum. The hyperbola has two symmetric parts called branches. conjugate axis Each branch has a vertex and a focus (F). vertices The axis that contains the vertices is called the transverse axis. Transverse axis focus focus An axis at right angles to the transverse axis is called the conjugate axis.
PARTS OF A HYPERBOLA The distance between the vertices is 2a Midpoint of the line joining the vertices is the center (C) of the hyperbola conjugate axis c Construct a rectangle with its center at C and length 2a vertex 2b C vertex focus focus 2a The width of this rectangle is 2b the conjugate axis length. transverse axis The diagonals of this rectangle are asymptotes of the segments of the hyperbola. c is the distance from the center to the vertex. c2 = a2 + b2 For a hyperbola:

Find the center, foci, vertices and plot the graph of 4x2 – 9y2– 16x –36y +16 = 0 Complete square separately on x-terms and y-terms by grouping them. Move the constant 16 to the right – 9y2 – 36y = -16 4x2 – 16x Make the coefficients of x2 and y21by factoring out 4and 9 – 9(y2+ 4y ) – 36 4(x2 – 4x ) + 22 + 22 = -16 + 16 x2 – 4x becomes a perfect square when 22 is added to it. When 22 is added, 4 × 22 = 16 gets added to the left To compensate we add 16 to the right y2 + 4y becomes a perfect square when 22 is added to it. To compensate we subtract 9 × 22 = 36 to the right 4(x – 2)2– 9(y + 2)2 = -36 Divide each term by -36 -9 4
Transverse axis vertical h = 2, k = 3 Center(2, 3) a = 2 b = 3 c2 = a2 + b2 = 4 + 9 = 13 (2, 3+13) c = 13 (2, 5) Focus: (2, 3c) (2, 3) (2, 3-13) (2, 3+13) (2, 1) vertices: (2, 3 a) (2, 5) (2, 1) Construct the rectangle with 2a = 4 units as its one side and 2b = 6 units as its other side with center at the origin. (2, 3-13) The diagonals of this rectangle are the asymptotes of the hyperbola.
Find the center, foci, vertices and graph the hyperbola: 1 1 1 1 Grouped the y terms and factored out a 4, grouped the x terms and factored out a -3. The y square term is first because it is positive. The right hand side must be a 1 so divide all terms by 12 1 12 12 12 4 3 This is now in standard form and we are ready to find what we need and graph.
The center is at (h, k). In this case (1, -1). this is a2 so a = 3 this is b2 so b = 2 a = square root 3 so the vertices (on the transverse axis) are square root of 3 each way from the center. Since it is the y term that is positive, we move square root of 3 each way in the y direction. so vertices are: To find foci: (1, -1) So foci are: Make the rectangle and asymptotes to help you graph
