What is the equation of a hyperbola?

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

I want the standard form of the equation of hyperbola

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^{2} - y^{2} = a^{2}\]

OpenStudy (kropot72):

\[\frac{x ^{2}}{a ^{2}}-\frac{y ^{2}}{b ^{2}}=1\] where x = plus and minus a are the intercepts with the x axis, the center is (0, 0), and the equations of the asymptotes are \[y=\pm\frac{b}{a}x\]

OpenStudy (kropot72):

a and b are non-zero constants.

OpenStudy (kropot72):

@Harsha19111999 Do you have a specific question regarding the hyperbola?

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

Yeah. I got it. I just want the standard form just like Aadarsh said. Thankyou Aadarsha and kropot72

OpenStudy (kropot72):

You're welcome :)

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

:)

Thanks a lot.. I have written the form , when the parameters 'a' and 'b' are equal. the general form is given by @kropot72 .
