What is rectangular hyperbola |
| Answer» The hyperbola whose asymptotes are at right angles to each other is called a rectangular hyperbola.\xa0The angle between asymptotes of the hyperbola x2/a2\xa0– y2/b2\xa0= 1, is 2 tan–1\xa0(b/a).This is a right angle if tan–1\xa0b/a = π/4, i.e., if b/a = 1⇒ b = a.The equation of rectangular hyperbola referred to its transverse and conjugate axes as axes of coordinates is therefore\xa0x2\xa0– y2\xa0= a2.\xa0 | |
