Conic Sections - Hyperbolas
A series of free, online video lessons with examples and solutions to help Algebra
students learn about hyperbola conic sections.
The following diagrams show the conic sections: circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola. Scroll down the page for examples and solutions on Hyperbolas.
A hyperbola is a type of conic section that is formed by intersecting a cone with a plane, resulting in two parabolic shaped pieces that open either up and down or right and left. Similar to a parabola, the hyperbola pieces have vertices and are asymptotic. The hyperbola is the least common of the conic sections.
How to talk about hyperbolas.
This video defines a hyperbola and explains how to graph a hyperbola given in standard form.
This video explains how to graph a hyperbola in general form.
