  2. Unit hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_hyperbola

    The unit hyperbola is blue, its conjugate is green, and the asymptotes are red. In geometry, the unit hyperbola is the set of points (x,y) in the Cartesian plane that satisfy the implicit equation = In the study of indefinite orthogonal groups, the unit hyperbola forms the basis for an alternative radial length

  3. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Inscribed angle theorem for hyperbolas [10] [11] — For four points = (,), =,,,, ,, (see diagram) the following statement is true: The four points are on a hyperbola with equation y = a x − b + c {\displaystyle y={\tfrac {a}{x-b}}+c} if and only if the angles at P 3 {\displaystyle P_{3}} and P 4 {\displaystyle P_{4}} are equal in the sense ...

  4. Hyperbolic coordinates - Wikipedia

    Starting from (1,1) the hyperbolic sector of unit area ends at (e, 1/e), where e is 2.71828…, according to the development of Leonhard Euler in Introduction to the Analysis of the Infinite (1748). Taking (e, 1/e) as the vertex of rectangle of unit area, and applying again the squeeze that made it from the unit square, yields ( e 2 , e − 2 ...

  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. Hyperbolic angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_angle

    The curve represents xy = 1. A hyperbolic angle has magnitude equal to the area of the corresponding hyperbolic sector, which is in standard position if a = 1. In geometry, hyperbolic angle is a real number determined by the area of the corresponding hyperbolic sector of xy = 1 in Quadrant I of the Cartesian plane.

  7. Conjugate hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_hyperbola

    In 1894 Alexander Macfarlane used an illustration of conjugate right hyperbolas in his study "Principles of elliptic and hyperbolic analysis". [3] In 1895 W. H. Besant noted conjugate hyperbolas in his book on conic sections. [4] George Salmon illustrated a conjugate hyperbola as a dotted curve in this Treatise on Conic Sections (1900). [5]

  8. Minkowski plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_plane

    We get the most important examples of Minkowski planes by generalizing the classical real model: Just replace by an arbitrary field then we get in any case a Minkowski plane ⁠ = (,; +,,) ⁠. Analogously to Möbius and Laguerre planes the Theorem of Miquel is a characteristic property of a Minkowski plane ⁠ M ( K ) {\displaystyle {\mathfrak ...

  9. Hyperbolic triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_triangle

    In terms of the (constant and negative) Gaussian curvature K of a hyperbolic plane, a unit of absolute length corresponds to a length of R = 1 − K {\displaystyle R={\frac {1}{\sqrt {-K}}}} . In a hyperbolic triangle the sum of the angles A , B , C (respectively opposite to the side with the corresponding letter) is strictly less than a ...
