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
