Revisit first: Ellipse

TOPIC 01

Hyperbola

Use the distance-difference definition, asymptotes and branch restrictions.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Standard#Your turn

x^2/121-y^2/4=1

a,b>0 and e>1; a distance difference is absolute, and an asymptote is not part of the curve.

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1

Translate the geometric condition into a coordinate equation.

Hint 2

Use this intermediate relation.

-y^2/4=1

Worked solution

Translate the geometric condition into a coordinate equation.
Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.
$y^2=-4$
No real point can have a negative square; the conjugate-axis line does not meet this hyperbola.

The requested relation or conclusion is shown below.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Parameters: For x²/a²−y²/b²=1, c²=a²+b² and asymptotes are y=±(b/a)x.
Branch conditions: a,b>0 and e>1; a distance difference is absolute, and an asymptote is not part of the curve.
