HYPERBOLA

Summary: 1. What is Hyperbola and how it’s formed? 2. Use of Hyperbola. 3. Methods to draw a Hyperbola. 4. What are Asymptotes? 5. How to draw or find out asymptotes in Hyperbola? 6. How to draw a Tangent and Normal on a Hyperbola? What is Hyperbola or Hyperbolic Curve and how it’s generated? When a curve is generated by cutting a conic section plane parallel to its axis, it is called a Hyperbolic Curve . As we know, a Hyperbola is a plane curve only which has two separate branches . It means a Hyperbolic curve is generated in two ways. (i) Either, when two cones are pointing toward each other and both cones are intersected by a plane that is parallel to the axes of those cones, (ii) Or, when the cutting plane of a conic section is parallel to the axis of the conic. For simplicity, the cutting plane must be parallel to the axis to generate a Hyperbolic curve.   Use of Hyperbola Practically, in engineering drawing, the Hyperbolic curves are used to draw Quench
