Hyperbolas share many of the ellipses` analytical properties such as eccentricity, focus, and directrix. Typically the correspondence can be made with nothing more than a change of sign in some term. Many other mathematical objects have their origin in the hyperbola, such as hyperbolic paraboloids (saddle surfaces), hyperboloids (`wastebaskets`......

• (n.) A curve formed by a section of a cone, when the cutting plane makes a greater angle with the base than the side of the cone makes. It is a plane curve such that the difference of the distances from any point of it to two fixed points, called foci, is equal to a given distance. See Focus. If the cutting plane be produced so as to cut the...

One of the conic section family of curves, which also includes the circle, the ellipse, and the parabola. The hyperbola is obtained if a double cone is cut by a plane inclined to the axis of the cone such that it meets both branches of the cone. Of the four conic curves, the hyperbola is the one l...

A hyperbola is a plane curve, one of the conic sections, formed by a plane that cuts both nappes of a right circular cone but does not pass through the vertex of the cone. A hyperbola has two U- shaped non-intersecting branches, identical in form, with the open parts facing in opposite directions; the arms of each branch separate as they recede. A ...

In geometry, hyperbola is a curve formed by cutting a cone in a direction parallel to its axis, or so that the cutting plane makes a greater angle with the base than the side of the cone makes, and when produced cuts also the opposite cone, or the cone which is the continuation of the former, on the opposite side of the vertex, thus producing anoth...
