Definition of a Hyperbola
A hyperbola is the set of
points in a plane the
difference of whose
distances from two fixed
points, called foci,
is constant.

The Two Branches of a Hyperbola
The line through the foci
intersects the hyperbola at
two points, called the vertices.
The line segment that
joins the vertices is the
transverse axis.
The midpoint of the transverse
axis is the center of the hyperbola.

Standard Forms of the Equations of a Hyperbola
The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with
center at the origin is x 2 y 2
y 2 x2

Standard Forms of the Equations of a Hyperbola
(continued)
The vertices are a units from the center and the foci are c
units from the center.
For both equations, b2 = c2 – a2. Equivalently, c2 = a2 + b2.

Example: Finding the Equation of a Hyperbola from Its
Foci and Vertices
Find the standard form of the equation of a hyperbola
with foci at (0, –5) and (0, 5) and vertices (0, –3) and
(0, 3).
Because the foci are located at (0, –5) and (0, 5), the
transverse axis lies on the y-axis. Thus, the form of the
equation is y 2 x 2
2 1.

a b
The distance from the center to either vertex is 3, so
a = 3.

approach a pair of intersecting straight lines, called asymptotes.

The rectangle passes through points that are 2 units above

units to the right and left of the center.
3 units right (3 + 3, –5) = (6, –5)

Example: An Application Involving Hyperbolas
An explosion is recorded by two microphones that are 2
miles apart. Microphone M1 receives the sound 3 seconds
before microphone M2. Assuming sound travels at 1100
feet per second, determine the possible locations of the
explosion relative to the location of the microphones.
We begin by putting the
microphones in a coordinate
system.
Copyright © 2014, 2010, 2007 Pearson Education, Inc.
34
Example: An Application Involving Hyperbolas
(continued)
We know that M1 received the sound 3 seconds before M2.
Because sound travels at 1100 feet per second, the
difference between the distance from P to M1 and the
distance from P to M2 is 3300 feet. The set of all points P
(or locations of the explosion)
satisfying these conditions
fits the definition of a
hyperbola, with microphones
M1 and M2 at the foci.

Example: An Application Involving Hyperbolas

We will use the standard form of the hyperbola’s equation.
P(x, y), the explosion point, lies on this hyperbola.

Example: An Application Involving Hyperbolas
(continued)
The distance from the center, (0, 0), to either focus
(–5280, 0) or (5280, 0) is 5280. Thus, c = 5280.

The equation of the hyperbola with a microphone at each
focus is

2,722,500 25,155,900
We can conclude that the explosion occurred somewhere
on the right branch (the branch closer to M1) of the
hyperbola given by this equation.
