This example demonstrates the graph of a hyperbola. It involves key mathematical concepts such as the definition of a hyperbola, foci, and asymptotes. Using GeoGebra commands like Polygon, Point, Distance, etc., a dynamic construction of the hyperbola is achieved. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, B, D, C) → poly1, a_1, b_1, d_1, c_1
  2. Point(d) → E
  3. Distance(E, Focus1) → distanceEFocus1
  4. Distance(E, Focus2) → distanceEFocus2
  5. Segment(E, Focus1) → g
  6. Segment(E, Focus2) → i
  7. Circle(Center, Focus1) → p
