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 ...
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.
Hyperboloid of one sheet, such as cooling towers A hyperboloid of one sheet is a doubly ruled surface , and it may be generated by either of two families of straight lines. The hyperbolic paraboloid is a doubly ruled surface so it may be used to construct a saddle roof from straight beams.
If is the linear eccentricity (half the distance between and ), then in this coordinate system = (,), = (,). A pencil of confocal ellipses and hyperbolas is specified by choice of linear eccentricity c (the x -coordinate of one focus) and can be parametrized by the semi-major axis a (the x -coordinate of the intersection of a specific conic in ...
The vectors v ∈ R n+1 such that Q(v) = -1 form an n-dimensional hyperboloid S consisting of two connected components, or sheets: the forward, or future, sheet S +, where x 0 >0 and the backward, or past, sheet S −, where x 0 <0. The points of the n-dimensional hyperboloid model are the points on the forward sheet S +.
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.
The unit hyperbola is blue, its conjugate is green, and the asymptotes are red. In geometry, the unit hyperbola is the set of points (x,y) in the Cartesian plane that satisfy the implicit equation = In the study of indefinite orthogonal groups, the unit hyperbola forms the basis for an alternative radial length
The metric of the model on the half-plane, { , >}, is: = + ()where s measures the length along a (possibly curved) line. The straight lines in the hyperbolic plane (geodesics for this metric tensor, i.e., curves which minimize the distance) are represented in this model by circular arcs perpendicular to the x-axis (half-circles whose centers are on the x-axis) and straight vertical rays ...
