About this worksheet

Hyperbolas: parts, equations and graphs. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find the center, vertices and foci of a hyperbola, with c² = a² + b², and tell which way it opens.
  • I can find the asymptotes as the diagonals of the box a across and b up.
  • I can complete both squares to write a hyperbola in standard form, and tell an ellipse from a hyperbola by the signs.

Standard: G-GPE.A.3 (+)

Words to know

hyperbola: Every point whose two distances to the foci differ by the same number.

branches: The two separate curves of a hyperbola.

vertices: The two points where the branches turn, a from the center.

foci: The two marked points inside the branches, c from the center.

asymptotes: Two lines the branches get closer and closer to.

plus term: The squared term with the plus sign; it tells which way the curve opens.

Common mistakes

Your child added the two distances, which is the rule for an ellipse.

Your child gave one of the two distances instead of their difference.

Your child added the steps across and up instead of finding the slanted distance.

What to say

Ask: on a hyperbola, are the distances added or subtracted?

Ask: how far is the point from the other focus?

Ask: is the slanted path shorter than the two steps together?

Questions parents ask
