    Equilateral Hyperbola

    Plot

    Equations

    x(t) = a sec(t) y(t) = a tan(t)

    x^2 - y^2 = a^2

    r(θ) = a sqrt(sec(2 θ))

    (for a hyperbola with center at the origin, semimajor axis a parallel to the x-axis, and semiminor axis a parallel to the y-axis)

    Properties

    algebraic | conic | parametric | quadratic

    Basic properties

    d = 2

    Conic properties

    {(-sqrt(2) a, 0), (sqrt(2) a, 0)}

    e = sqrt(2)

    p = a/sqrt(2)

    x = -a/sqrt(2) ∨ x = a/sqrt(2)
