Define Hyperbola

A hyperbola is a conic section formed by the intersection of a plane and a double cone.  For any point the distances from that point to a fixed point, known as the focus, and a line are always the same ratio.  A hyperbola may be defined by the following:

Center, Half-Transverse Axis, Half-Conjugate Axis and the Angle of the Transverse Axis to the X Axis


Center, Half-Transverse Axis, Half-Conjugate Axis and the Angle of the Transverse Axis to the X Axis

HYPERB/CENTER,point,half-transverse,half-conjugate,angle
The hyperbola is defined with its center at point, the half-transverse and half-conjugate distances, and the angle of the transverse axis to the X-axis.
