Our last conic section section is the hyperbola. The hyperbola has an equation that looks almost identical to that of an ellipse, the only difference is that it has one negative term instead of both being positive. Unlike the ellipse where we looked for the larger denominator as being associated with the major axis, for the hyperbola we look at which term is positive which indicates the transverse axis. How to graph, find the foci, find the asymptotes, and find the vertices are also discussed.
