Use The Distance Formula And Foci To Derive The Equation Of A Hyperbola

When deriving the equation of a hyperbola using foci and the distance formula, the term involving in the equation is typically squared because:

Given a hyperbola with foci at (0,2) and (0,−2) and a distance between the foci of 4, the equation of the hyperbola is:

For a hyperbola with foci at (0,3) and (0,−3), and a distance between the foci of 6, the equation of the hyperbola is: 

The distance between the foci of a hyperbola is 2c. The distance formula to derive the equation equal to:

In the distance formula, the variables x1 and y1 represent: 

When using the distance formula to find the distance between a point on a hyperbola and one of its foci, the result should be equal to: 

The distance formula is used to calculate the distance between:

The distance formula can be used to find the distance between: 

If the distance between the foci of a hyperbola is 10 and a point on the hyperbola is (5,3), the equation for the distance using the distance formula is:

To derive the equation of a hyperbola using foci and the distance formula, the standard form should be of the type:
