Hyperbola: the midpoints of parallel chords lie on a line. Hyperbola: the midpoint of a chord is the midpoint of the corresponding chord of the asymptotes. The midpoints of parallel chords of a hyperbola lie on a line through the center (see diagram). The points of any chord may lie on different branches of the hyperbola.
The discussion of plane sections can be performed for the unit hyperboloid of two sheets with equation : + = which can be generated by a rotating hyperbola around one of its axes (the one that cuts the hyperbola) A plane with slope less than 1 (1 is the slope of the asymptotes of the generating hyperbola) intersects either in an ellipse or in a ...
A ray through the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1 at the point (cosh a, sinh a), where a is twice the area between the ray, the hyperbola, and the x-axis. For points on the hyperbola below the x-axis, the area is considered negative (see animated version with comparison with the trigonometric (circular) functions).
These points form a line, and y = x is said to be the equation for this line. In general, linear equations involving x and y specify lines, quadratic equations specify conic sections, and more complicated equations describe more complicated figures. [17] Usually, a single equation corresponds to a curve on the plane.
The orthogonal group O(1, n) acts by norm-preserving transformations on Minkowski space R 1,n, and it acts transitively on the two-sheet hyperboloid of norm 1 vectors. Timelike lines (i.e., those with positive-norm tangents) through the origin pass through antipodal points in the hyperboloid, so the space of such lines yields a model of ...
The Weierstrass coordinates of a point are the Cartesian coordinates of the point when the point is mapped in the hyperboloid model of the hyperbolic plane, the x-axis is mapped to the (half) hyperbola ( , , +) and the origin is mapped to the point (0,0,1). [1]
In the Cartesian plane, these pairs lie on a hyperbola, and when the double sum is fully expanded, there is a bijection between the terms of the sum and the lattice points in the first quadrant on the hyperbolas of the form xy = k, where k runs over the integers 1 ≤ k ≤ n: for each such point (x,y), the sum contains a term g(x)h(y), and ...
The curve represents xy = 1. A hyperbolic angle has magnitude equal to the area of the corresponding hyperbolic sector, which is in standard position if a = 1. In geometry, hyperbolic angle is a real number determined by the area of the corresponding hyperbolic sector of xy = 1 in Quadrant I of the Cartesian plane.
