Besides being a conic section, a hyperbola can arise as the locus of points whose difference of distances to two fixed foci is constant, as a curve for each point of which the rays to two fixed foci are reflections across the tangent line at that point, or as the solution of certain bivariate quadratic equations such as the reciprocal ...
Point F is a focus point for the red ellipse, green parabola and blue hyperbola. In geometry, focuses or foci (/ ˈ f oʊ k aɪ /; sg.: focus) are special points with reference to which any of a variety of curves is constructed. For example, one or two foci can be used in defining conic sections, the four types of which are the circle, ellipse ...
A circle is an ellipse with two coinciding foci. The limit of hyperbolas as the foci are brought together is degenerate: a pair of intersecting lines. If an orthogonal net of ellipses and hyperbolas is transformed by bringing the two foci together, the result is thus an orthogonal net of concentric circles and lines passing through the circle ...
The second lemniscate of the Mandelbrot set is a Cassini oval defined by the equation = {: (+) =}. Its foci are at the points c on the complex plane that have orbits where every second value of z is equal to zero, which are the values 0 and −1.
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
E,F: foci of the ellipse and vertices of the hyperbola Focal conics: two parabolas A: vertex of the red parabola and focus of the blue parabola F: focus of the red parabola and vertex of the blue parabola. In geometry, focal conics are a pair of curves consisting of [1] [2] either an ellipse and a hyperbola, where the hyperbola is contained in ...
A family of conic sections of varying eccentricity share a focus point and directrix line, including an ellipse (red, e = 1/2), a parabola (green, e = 1), and a hyperbola (blue, e = 2). The conic of eccentricity 0 in this figure is an infinitesimal circle centered at the focus, and the conic of eccentricity ∞ is an infinitesimally separated ...
The points , and define a hyperbola going through the point with foci at the points and . The point F 1 {\displaystyle F_{1}} is either on the left or on the right branch of the hyperbola depending on the sign of A {\displaystyle A} .
