Khan Academy: Hyperbolas: Conic Sections: Intro to Hyperbolas

In this video, Sal starts with the equation of a hyperbola by first comparing it to the equation of the circle, and ellipse. He then shows how to find the equation of the asymptotes by solving for y. He also shows a few intuitive ways to...

This video explores the equation of a circle by first looking at the equation of a circle with the center at the origin and then building upon that, equations of circles that are shifted off the origin.

The equation of a circle is explored in this video by looking first at the equation of a circle with the center at the origin; then building upon that, equations of circles that are shifted off the origin.

Sal defines a hyperbola's vertex and foci in this video and shows how to locate both. By comparing the hyperbola to an ellipse throughout the video, the listener sees the similarities between these two conic sections. This approach makes...

A video lesson introducing conic sections. Includes a sketch of each of the four fundamental conic sections in two dimensions. Also explains why they are called conic sections by illustrating how each is the intersection of a cone and a...

A video lesson introducing hyperbolas. The standard form for the equation of a hyperbola is given and the formula for the equations of the asymptotes are derived algebraically. An arbitrary graph is drawn to show what a hyperbola looks...

A video lesson introducing the standard form for the equation of an ellipse. Starts out with an ellipse centered at the origin and then discusses the changes to both the equation and the graph when an ellipse is centered elsewhere....

A video lesson showing the algebraic relationship between the equation of an arbitrary hyperbola and its arbitrary tangent line. [10:04]
