Example

The document summarizes the key properties of two hyperbolas. The first is a standard horizontal hyperbola with center (0,0) and the second is a general horizontal hyperbola with center (2,1). For each, the document provides the equation, standard form, vertices, foci, transverse and conjugate axes, latus rectum, asymptotes, and directrices. It then indicates the hyperbolas would be graphed.
