Hyperbola: 1. Standard Equation

1. A hyperbola has a standard equation of x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1, with foci of (±ae, 0) and vertices of (±a, 0). 2. Two hyperbolas are conjugate if their equations differ only by the signs in the x and y terms. 3. The auxiliary circle of a hyperbola has the equation x^2 + y^2 = a^2.
