What Is A Hyperbola?

A hyperbola is the set of all points (x, y) for which the absolute value of the differences between the distances from two distinct fixed points called foci is constant.

Conic Sections: The Hyperbola (Part 1 Of 2)

Hyperbolas - Conic Sections

A complete hyperbola example. Learn how to solve and graph an hyperbola.

Graphing a transformed hyperbola combines the skills of graphing hyperbolas and graphing transformations. With hyperbola graphs, we use the formula a2 + b2 = c2 to determine the foci and y = + or - (a/b)x to determine the asymptotes. When transforming hyperbola graphs, we find the center of the graph and then graph accordingly.
