* x2 - y2 =(√a)2
is the equation of a rectangular hyperbola. Rectangular hyperbola is
one whose transverse (major axis in ellipse) and conjugate axis
(minor axis in ellipse) are of equal length( similar to circle) .
* xy=(√b)2
is another equation of rectangular hyperbola where the co-ordinate
axes are rotated through 45 degree without changing the origin.
Hence all the pairs of (x,y) represent the points of intersection of
two hyperbolas. |
