Question

What is the difference between hyperbola and parabola??​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)A parabola is defined as a set of points in a plane which are equidistant from a straight line or directrix and focus.

The hyperbola can be defined as the difference of distances between a set of points, which are present in a plane to two fixed points is a positive constant.

2)A parabola has single focus and directrix

A hyperbola has two foci and two directrices

3)Eccentricity, e = 1(parabola)

Eccentricity, e>1(hyperbola)

4)The two arms present in a parabola should be parallel to each other

The arms present in hyperbola are not parallel to each other

5)It has no asymptotes(parabola)

It has two asymptotes(hyperbola)
