do hyperbolas have foci? if so how do you find them??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

al conices have foci; its the point where they ... well, do something lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the foci of hyperbolas are nested inside the curves along the tranverse axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you find them by taking finding 'c' again but in a slightly different way

OpenStudy (amistre64):

c becomes the hyp and a and b are legs this time so c = sqrt(a+b) ; a b being th ebottom numbers inthe equation

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then take a distance of c both ways from center along the transverse axis to get the foci

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i add sqrt29 (c) to the x value of the center, then subtract it?
