  2. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    This equation is called the canonical form of a hyperbola, because any hyperbola, regardless of its orientation relative to the Cartesian axes and regardless of the location of its center, can be transformed to this form by a change of variables, giving a hyperbola that is congruent to the original (see below).

  3. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    In the Cartesian coordinate system, the graph of a quadratic equation in two variables is always a conic section (though it may be degenerate), [a] and all conic sections arise in this way. The most general equation is of the form [11] + + + + + =,

  4. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    The graph of a real single-variable quadratic function is a parabola. If a quadratic function is equated with zero, then the result is a quadratic equation . The solutions of a quadratic equation are the zeros (or roots ) of the corresponding quadratic function, of which there can be two, one, or zero.

  5. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    A ray through the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1 at the point (cosh a, sinh a), where a is twice the area between the ray, the hyperbola, and the x-axis. For points on the hyperbola below the x-axis, the area is considered negative (see animated version with comparison with the trigonometric (circular) functions).

  6. Hyperbolastic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolastic_functions

    3D Hyperbolastic graph of phytoplankton biomass as a function of nutrient concentration and time. According to stem cell researchers at McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh, "a newer model [called the hyperbolastic type III or] H3 is a differential equation that also describes the cell growth. This model ...

  7. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    A hyperbola and its conjugate hyperbola. In the Cartesian coordinate system, the graph of a quadratic equation in two variables is always a conic section – though it may be degenerate, and all conic sections arise in this way.

  9. Eccentricity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentricity_(mathematics)

    The linear eccentricity of an ellipse or hyperbola, denoted c (or sometimes f or e), is the distance between its center and either of its two foci. The eccentricity can be defined as the ratio of the linear eccentricity to the semimajor axis a : that is, e = c a {\displaystyle e={\frac {c}{a}}} (lacking a center, the linear eccentricity for ...
