of the distances from two points is constant.

Characteristics of a HyperbolaImportant
Facts: The hyperbola bends
toward the foci The positive term
determines which way the hyperbola opens
The distance between the foci is 2c
The distance between the vertices is 2a
The center is the midpoint between the foci and the midpoint between the vertices
c2 = a2 + b2

Example #3BB. Find the equation of a hyperbola with y-
intercepts at
±7 and an asymptote at xy31
With it intersecting the y-axis, this implies that a = 7. From the equation of the asymptote we get:

Example #4An airplane crashed and was heard by a park
ranger and by a family camping in a park. The park ranger and the family are ¼ mile apart and the ranger heard the sound 1 second before the family. The speed of sound in air is approximately 1100 feet per second. Describe the possible locations of the plane crash.The family and the ranger are placed at opposite foci of a hyperbolic curve. The crash occurred closer to the ranger than the family so the crash occurred on the branch of the hyperbola closest to the ranger.Since sound travels at 1100 ft/sec, after 1 sec it will have traveled 1100 ft. This implies the crash was 1100 ft closer to the ranger than the family, which also means the vertices are 1100 ft apart. Since 1 mile has 5280 ft, ¼ a mile is 5280 ÷ 4 = 1320 ft, which is the distance between the foci.
