Discussion
You already learned three conic sections, but there is still one. The hyperbola. Like
ellipse, the hyperbola is also determined by two foci and a focal constant. At first glance, students
relate the sketch of the graph of a hyperbola with that of a parabola but this two had their own
distinction.
Do you know what a hyperbola is?
What is a hyperbola?
➢ A Hyperbola is the locus of a moving point which moves such that the ratio of its distance
from a fixed point to its distance from a fixed line is constant and is greater than one. The
fixed point is called the focus, the fixed line is called the directrix and the constant ratio
is called the eccentricity.
➢ It is also defined as the locus of a point which moves so that the differences of its
distances from a fixed point called the foci is constant and is equal to the length of the
transverse axis.

Definition of Terms
• Center – a point halfway between two vertices. It is a point that divides the transverse axis into
two equal parts. (Refer to figure 2, point O is the center)
• Transverse–axis – a line segment that passes through the foci. (𝑉𝑉′̅̅̅̅̅ is the transverse axis)
• Conjugate–axis – a line segment perpendicular to the transverse axis and passes through the
center. ((𝑏, 0) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (−𝑏, 0) are its endpoints).
• Vertices – it is the endpoints of the transverse axis. (Point V and point V’ are the vertices)
• Foci – singular focus, are the fixed points. (Point F and Point F’ are the foci).
• Asymptotes – two lines which are approached by the points on the branches of the hyperbola and
passes through the center.
In figure 2, there are two dashed lines and a broken rectangle. The dashed lines are the
asymptotes of the hyperbola and the broken rectangle is the auxiliary rectangle. This lines
and rectangle can be used as a guidelines for you when you graph a hyperbola soon.

Learning Summary
➢ A Hyperbola is the locus of a moving point which moves such that the
ratio of its distance from a fixed point to its distance from a fixed line is constant
and is greater than one. The fixed point is called the focus, the fixed line is called
the directrix and the constant ratio is called the eccentricity. It is also defined as
the locus of a point which moves so that the differences of its distances from a fixed point
called the foci is constant and is equal to the length of the transverse axis.
➢ Center is a point halfway between two vertices. It is a point that divides the transverse axis
into two equal parts.
➢ Transverse–axis is a line segment that passes through the foci having vertices as its
endpoints.
➢ Conjugate–axis is a line segment perpendicular to the transverse axis and passes through
the center.
➢ Vertices is the endpoints of the transverse axis. (Point V and point V’ are the vertices)

than that of the ruler, a pencil, and a small board.

iv. Pin your string into one of the foci, and pin the ruler into the other focus.
Keeping the string taut against the ruler, construct the upper (or lower) half
of one of the branches of your hyperbola.
v. To get the other half of the branch, you will need to unpin the ruler, turn it
over, and pin it back into the same focus, and repeat the process.
vi. To get the other branch, switch the string and ruler pins.

Discussion
The equation of hyperbola is not always given in standard form, sometimes in its
general form. But how can we convert the general form of a hyperbola into its standard form?
• 𝐴𝑥 2 − 𝐶𝑦 2 + 𝐷𝑥 + 𝐸𝑦 + 𝐹 = 0
• 𝐶𝑦 2 − 𝐴𝑥 2 + 𝐷𝑥 + 𝐸𝑦 + 𝐹 = 0
Illustrative Examples:
1. 4𝑥 2 − 8𝑦 2 − 64 = 0
Steps Solution
1. Since there is no terms for x and y, that means
D and E are equal to 0. Then just move the
constant to the right side. 4𝑥 2 − 8𝑦 2 = 64
*this also tells that the center of the hyperbola
is at the origin
2. Dividing both sides by 64 to obtain 1 on the 4𝑥 2 8𝑦2 64
right side. − =

2. Complete the square for each grouping. 2 2
4(𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4) − 9(𝑦 2 − 6𝑦 + 9)
Whatever you do in the left side must be
= 101 + 4(4) − 9(9)

4(𝑥 2 + 4𝑥 + 4) − 9(𝑦 2 − 6𝑦 + 9) = 36

Learning Summary
Steps to graph a hyperbola:
1. Mark the center.
2. From the center in Step 1, find the transverse and conjugate axes.
3. Use these points to draw a rectangle that will help guide the shape
of your hyperbola.
4. Draw diagonal lines through the center and the corners of the
rectangle that extend beyond the rectangle. Note: These diagonal lines are
the asymptotes of the hyperbola.
5. Sketch the curves.
