1. Conics 7.3: Hyperbolas Objectives:
- Analyze and graph equations of hyperbolas
- Use equations to identify types of conic sections

2. Hyperbola: the set of all points in a plane such that the absolute value of the differences of the distances from two foci is constant. -two branches, two asymptotes -Center: midpoint of vertices and foci. -Vertices: closest point that the branches are to the center. Transverse axis: a segment that has a length of 2a units and connects the vertices. Conjugate Axis: the segment that is perpendicular to the transverse axis, passes through the center, and has length of 2b units.

3. The general form for a hyperbola centered at (h, k) is given below in your notes and on the next slide.

Steps to write an equation:
Determine if the hyperbola is horizontal or vertical. (sketch the given information)
Decide which equation to use.

*If given information about foci, use c2 = a2 + b2

19. You can determine the type of conic when the equation for the conic is in general form, Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0. The discriminant, or B2– 4AC, can be used to identify the conic.

20. Example 5:Use the discriminant to identify the conic section in the equation 2x2 + y2 – 2x + 5xy + 12 = 0.
Example 8:Use the discriminant to identify the conic section in the equation 4x2 + 4y2 – 4x + 8 = 0.
Example 9: Use the discriminant to identify the conic section in the equation 2x2 + 2y2 – 6y + 4xy – 10 = 0.

22. Example 10: LORAN (LOng RAnge Navigation) is a navigation system for ships relying on radio pulses that is not dependent on visibility conditions. Suppose LORAN stations E and F are located 350 miles apart along a straight shore with E due west of F. When a ship approaches the shore, it receives radio pulses from the stations and is able to determine that it is 80 miles farther from station F than it is from station E. Find the equation for the hyperbola on which the ship is located.

Suppose LORAN stations E and F are located 350 miles apart along a straight shore with E due west of F. When a ship approaches the shore, it receives radio pulses from the stations and is able to determine that it is 80 miles farther from station F than it is from station E. Find the exact coordinates of the ship if it is 125 miles from the shore.

24. Another characteristic that can be used to describe a hyperbola is the eccentricity. The formula for eccentricity is the same for all conics. Recall, that for an ellipse, the eccentricity is greater than 0 and less than 1. For a hyperbola, the eccentricity will always be greater than 1.
