Hyperbola: Properties and Equations by Raju Singh is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. DEFINITION The hyperbola is the locus of a point which moves such that its distance from a fixed point called focus is always e times (e > 1) its distance from a fixed line called directrix. 2. VARIOUS FORMS OF HYPERBOLA 2.1 Standard form Let S be the focus and ZM the directrix of a hyperbola. Since e > 1, we can divide SZ internally and externally in the ratio e : 1, let the points of division be A and A as in the figure. Let AA = 2a and is bisected at C. Then, SA = e. AZ, SA = e. ZA  S
