ola. The definition of a hyperbola is similar to that of an ellipse. The difference is that for an ellipse the sum of the distances between the foci and a point on the ellipse is fixed, whereas for a hyperbola the difference of the distances between the foci and a point on the hyperbola is fixed. Definition of Hyperbol...
