This example demonstrates the reflection of a hyperbola. Key mathematical concepts include hyperbola, reflection, vectors, and geometric construction. Using GeoGebra commands such as Line, Segment, Intersect, Tangent, OrthogonalLine, Mirror, etc., the symmetry of the hyperbola is visually illustrated. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
