Hyperbola
A hyperbola is a set of points in the plane whose distances from two fixed points(focuses/foci) have a constant difference.

Simplifying, we get

Equation of a Hyperbola
Example
Find the equation of the hyperbola with foci (−1,1) and (4,1) and vertices (0,1) and(3,1).
Solution:
Half-way between the foci (or bet. vertices) is the center,(
32 ,1
).
Note that a is the distance from the center to a vertex. Thus, a = 32 .
Also, c is the distance from the center to a focus. Thus, c = 52 .
Now, a2 +b2 = c2 =⇒ b2 = 254 − 9

Eccentricity
For the parabola, we define the eccentricity e to be e = 1.For the ellipse and hyperbola, we define eccentricity to be
e = distance between foci
distance between vertices
Hence, we have
e = 0 circle
0 < e < 1 ellipse
e = 1 parabola
e > 1 hyperbola

The lines perpendicular to the major axis of this ellipse at distances ± ae from the
center are the directrices of this ellipse.
Let D1 be the directrix nearest the focus F1 and let D2 be the directrix nearest thefocus F2. This pairing of the foci and the directrices will be refered to as thefocus-directrix pairing.
