Then whichever hyperbola (A) or (B) is used, the operation is an example of a hyperbolic involution where the asymptote is invariant. Hyperbolically orthogonal lines lie in different sectors of the plane, determined by the asymptotes of the hyperbola, thus the relation of hyperbolic orthogonality is a heterogeneous relation on sets of lines in ...
Examples: The orthoptic of a parabola is its directrix (proof: see below),; The orthoptic of an ellipse + = is the director circle + = + (see below),; The orthoptic of a hyperbola =, > is the director circle + = (in case of a ≤ b there are no orthogonal tangents, see below),
Conversely, the circle B is the envelope of polars of points on the hyperbola, and the locus of poles of tangent lines to the hyperbola. Two tangent lines to B have no (finite) poles because they pass through the center C of the reciprocation circle C; the polars of the corresponding tangent points on B are the
The radius and tangent are hyperbolic orthogonal at a since p(a) and are reflections of each other in the asymptote y = x of the unit hyperbola. When interpreted as split-complex numbers (where j j = +1 ), the two numbers satisfy j p ( a ) = d p d a . {\displaystyle jp(a)={\tfrac {dp}{da}}.}
A parabola, being tangent to the line at infinity, would have its center being a point on the line at infinity. Hyperbolas intersect the line at infinity in two distinct points and the polar lines of these points are the asymptotes of the hyperbola and are the tangent lines to the hyperbola at these points of infinity.
Feuerbach Hyperbola. In geometry, the Feuerbach hyperbola is a rectangular hyperbola passing through important triangle centers such as the Orthocenter, Gergonne point, Nagel point and Schiffler point. The center of the hyperbola is the Feuerbach point, the point of tangency of the incircle and the nine-point circle. [1]
Circle and hyperbola tangent at (1,1) display geometry of circular functions in terms of circular sector area u and hyperbolic functions depending on hyperbolic sector area u. The hyperbolic functions represent an expansion of trigonometry beyond the circular functions. Both types depend on an argument, either circular angle or hyperbolic angle.
A hyperbolic sector is a region of the Cartesian plane bounded by a hyperbola and two rays from the origin to it. For example, the two points (a, 1/a) and (b, 1/b) on the rectangular hyperbola xy = 1, or the corresponding region when this hyperbola is re-scaled and its orientation is altered by a rotation leaving the center at the origin, as with the unit hyperbola.
