A rectangular hyperbola 2013-09-19
Soumya pose la question :
Is the graph of an inverse variation a RECTANGULAR HYPERBOLA? If it is, then how can be the equation of a rectangular hyperbola be xy=constant , whereas in the books it is written that the graph of a rectangular hyperbola is- x^2-y^2=a^2?

A rectangular hyperbola 2007-11-06
Gareth pose la question :
2. Consider the rectangular hyperbola xy = c2 with parametrization (x, y) = (ct, c/t), and t 6= 0.
i. Derive (i.e. do not just quote) the equations of the tangent and normal at the point P with (parametric) coordinates (cp, c/p).
ii. Consider the points P : (cp, c/p) and Q : (cq, c/q) on the hyperbola. Find the equation of the straight line that joins the points P and Q.
iii. Consider a point R : (cr, c/r) also on the hyperbola, and suppose that in the triangle PRQ, \PRQ = 90◦. Prove that the normal (to the hyperbola) at R is parallel to the line PQ.

Conic sections 2006-11-19
Joyce pose la question :
My son has a project on conic sections. I need the following information on Parabola, Circle, ellipse,and hyperbola. He can't find the following information for each conic section: equations with explanations, four uses for each shape and Shape explanation.

Find the xy equation of the curve on which Brian is located. 2006-02-20
Skye pose la question :
Andrew, located at (0, -2200) fired a rifle. The sound echoed off a cliff at (0,2200) to Brian, located at point (x,y). Brian heard the echo 6 seconds after he heard the original shot. Find the xy equation of the curve on which Brian is located. Assume the distances are in feet and that sound travels at 1100 feet/second. (hint: find the equation of the hyperbola)

A conic 2004-08-10
A student pose la question :
My question is about this equation 32x*2 -18y*2 -64x +72y +248 =0 explain why as x goes to the infinity the graph of the conic looks like y= (3/4)X.

What I did to try to find the solution of this problem was to graph and then I thought that maybe trying to find the equation of the asymptotes I could do it, but it was useless -because the equation of the asymptotes is y= +4/3(X-1) -2 and that does not explain why tho conic looks like y=(3/4) x . I would really appreciate your help on this.

A tangent to a hyperbola 2004-08-02
A student pose la question :
The equation of a hyperbola is 32x*2 -18Y*2-64x +72y +248=0. The equation of a tangent line to this hyperbola is y= (16/15)X + 10/3 I have been trying to find the point where this line intersects the graph. What I did was solve for x and then plugged in the result into the equation of the hyperbola, but I am getting two answers and I am supposed to get only one because the line is tangent to the graph. For this reason, I would like to know what I am doing wrong or what I have to do to know which answer is correct.

Uses of conic sections 2003-04-01
William pose la question :
My name is William and I am doing a research paper on conic sections for my 12th grade math class. Part of the project is to find two conic sections in our world today and explain what there purpose is. I really need help in this area because I've been searching the internet for where conic sections are used in our world today and I really can't find anything. If you can tell me specific building or a pyramid that contains conic sections that would be great. Or even something in the universe would be helpful.

Rectangular hyperbola 1999-12-15
Aarti Chand pose la question :
Why do they call a rectangular hyperbola, rectangular and where the normal hyperbola looks like a rectangle and the rectangular hyperbola looks like a sqaure?
