  2. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    This definition implies that the hyperbola is both the locus of the poles of the tangent lines to the circle B, as well as the envelope of the polar lines of the points on B. Conversely, the circle B is the envelope of polars of points on the hyperbola, and the locus of poles of tangent lines to the hyperbola.

  3. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    Lines through a given point P and asymptotic to line R. Non-intersecting lines in hyperbolic geometry also have properties that differ from non-intersecting lines in Euclidean geometry: For any line R and any point P which does not lie on R, in the plane containing line R and point P there are at least two distinct lines through P that do not ...

  4. Hyperbolic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_motion

    Textbooks on complex functions often mention two common models of hyperbolic geometry: the Poincaré half-plane model where the absolute is the real line on the complex plane, and the Poincaré disk model where the absolute is the unit circle in the complex plane.

  5. Conic section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section

    A point on no tangent line is said to be an interior point (or inner point) of the conic, while a point on two tangent lines is an exterior point (or outer point). All the conic sections share a reflection property that can be stated as: All mirrors in the shape of a non-degenerate conic section reflect light coming from or going toward one ...

    However, not the entire hyperbolic plane can be placed onto the pseudosphere as a model, only a portion of the hyperbolic plane. [2] Poincare disc with hyperbolic parallel lines. The entire hyperbolic plane can also be placed on a Poincaré disk and maintain its angles. However, the lines will turn into circular arcs, which warps them. [2]

  7. Confocal conic sections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confocal_conic_sections

    (See Ellipse § Definition as locus of points and Hyperbola § As locus of points.) The foci F 1 , F 2 {\displaystyle F_{1},\,F_{2}} thus determine two pencils of confocal ellipses and hyperbolas. By the principal axis theorem , the plane admits a Cartesian coordinate system with its origin at the midpoint between foci and its axes aligned with ...

  9. Hyperbolic trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_trajectory

    In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics, a hyperbolic trajectory or hyperbolic orbit is the trajectory of any object around a central body with more than enough speed to escape the central object's gravitational pull. The name derives from the fact that according to Newtonian theory such an orbit has the shape of a hyperbola.
