The foci (plural of focus, pronounced foh-sigh) are the two points that define a hyperbola: the figure is defined as the set of all points that is a fixed difference of distances from the two points, or foci.

The transverse axis is a connection on a hyperbola. It connects the focus, or center, of the hyperbola, and can connect two together.

What is foci of hyperbola?

A half of a hyperbola is defined as the locus of points such that the distance of the point from one fixed point (a focus) and its distance from a fixed line (the directrix) is a constant that is greater than 1 (the eccentricity). By symmetry, a hyperbola has two foci and two directrices.

Does a conic section have vertices?

No, a conic section does not have vertices. If it is a circle, it has a center; if it is a parabola or hyperbola, it has a focus; and if it is an ellipse, it has foci.


What are the followings-hyberbola-asymptotes of hyperbola-centre of hyperbola-conjugated diameter of hyperbola-diameter of hyperbola-directrices of hyperbola-eccentricity of hyperbola?

Asymptotes are the guidelines that a hyperbola follows. They form an X and the hyperbola always gets closer to them but never touches them. If the transverse axis of your hyperbola is horizontal, the slopes of your asymptotes are + or - b/a. If the transverse axis is vertical, the slopes are + or - a/b. The center of a hyperbola is (h,k). I don't know what the rest of your questions are, though.
