Pre-Calculus: Lesson 1.4: Hyperbolas

The document discusses lesson 1.4 on hyperbolas in pre-calculus, including defining a hyperbola, determining its standard form equation, graphing it, and solving problems involving hyperbolas. A hyperbola consists of two unbounded branches that extend in opposite directions from two foci, and its standard form equation relates the difference between the distances to the two foci for any point on the hyperbola. The lesson provides examples of finding components of hyperbolas like vertices and asymptotes, graphing hyperbolas, writing standard form equations, and solving problems involving hyperbolas.

Lesson 1.4: Hyperbolas


Lesson 1.4: Hyperbolas
Time Frame: 3 one-hour sessions
Learning Outcomes of the Lesson
At the end of the lesson, the student is able to:
(1) define a hyperbola;
(2) determine the standard form of equation of a
hyperbola;
(3) graph a hyperbola in a rectangular coordinate
system; and
(4) solve situational problems involving conic sections
(hyperbolas).
A hyperbola is one of the conic sections that
most students have not encountered formally
before, unlike circles and parabolas. Its graph
consists of two unbounded branches which
extend in opposite directions.
In figure 115, C is the center , V 1 and V2 the vertices, F1
, ,
F R L R L
and 2 the foci, 1 1 and 2 2 the latera recta, D1 D1 and D2 D2
, ,
the directrices and 1 1 and 2 2 are assymptotes. The
A A A A
line segment V1V2 is the transverse axis, whose length is
usually denoted by 2a. The line segment MN or the
perpendicular bisector of V1V2 of length 2b, is the conjugate
axis. The length of the transverse axis of the hyperbola may
ber greater than, equal or less than that of its conjugate
axis.
The properties of Hyperbola:

1. The hyperbola consists of two open branches, and is


symmetrical with resoect to both its axes.
2. The difference between the focal distances of any point
on the hyperbola is constant and is equal to the length of
the transverse axis:

PF 1 2a
3. The distances from the center to a focus and to a
directrix are respectively ae and ae .
4. The length of a latus rectum is 2b2

5. The diagonals (prolonged ) of the rectangle B1 B2 B2 B1
of sides 2a and 2b and parallel to the transverse and
conjugate axes respectively are the asymptotes of the
hyperbola.
