This example demonstrates the foci of a hyperbola. Key mathematical concepts include the definition and properties of hyperbolas. Using GeoGebra commands such as Point, Segment, Circle, Line, and Intersect, the construction of the hyperbola and its foci is illustrated. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
