Standard Equation of Hyperbola
Observation in Hyperbola
o Hyperbola is symmetric with respect to both the axes , since if ( x , y ) is a point on the hyperbola , then (– x , y ), ( x , – y ) and (– x , – y ) are also points on the hyperbola o The foci are always on the transverse axis .
Latus Rectum of Hyperbola :
Latus rectum of hyperbola is a line segment perpendicular to transverse axis through any of the foci & whose end points lie on hyperbola . Length of Latus rectum is 2b 2 / a
