Conic Sections Hyperbolas Definition The conic section formed by a plane which intersects both of the right conical surfaces Formed whenor when the plane isparallel to the axis of the cone Definition A hyperbola is the set of all points in the plane where The difference between the distances From two fixed points (foci) Is a constant Geogebra Demonstration Experimenting with Definition Turn on Explore geometric definition. A purple point will appear on the hyperbola, along with two line segments labeled L1 and L2. Drag the purple point around the hyperbola. Do the lengths of L1 and L2 change? What do you notice about the absolute value of the differences of the lengths? How do these observations relate to the geometric definition of a hyperbola. Observe the values of L1, L2, and the difference | L1 ? L2 | as you vary the values of a and b. How is the difference | L1 ? L2 | related to the values of a and/or b? (Hint: Think about multiples.) Determine the difference | L1 ? L2 | for a hyperbola where a = 3 and b = 4. Use the Gizmo to check your answer.
