STo draw a hyperbola

Note

A hyperbola is the locus of points, the difference of whose distances from two fixed points (called foci) is a given value. A hyperbola drawn using the [Hyperbola] command is drawn in accordance with this definition. When you draw a hyperbola with the [Hyperbola] command, you need to specify three different points: two foci (Point 1 and Point 2) and one point anywhere on the hyperbola (Point 3).

Point 1 .............	A
Point 2 .............	B
Point 3 .............	C

(1)Tap [Draw] and then [Hyperbola].

•This highlights the hyperbola button on the toolbar.

(2)On the screen, tap the two points that you want to specify as the foci of the hyperbola (Point 1 and Point 2).

•This causes a line to appear between Point 1 and Point 2.

•Instead of tapping two points as described above, you could also specify the two foci by tapping to define Point 1 and then dragging the stylus across the screen to Point 2.
