1)In a hyperbola,
x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2=1(standard form),
b^2=a^2(e^2-1)
This is in the case where b is greater than a.
But if a is greater than b?
Will that hold good correctly?
2)If you consider the conjugate hyperbola(of the standard form),what will be equation relating a,b and e?
Will it be b^2=a^2(e^2-1) or a^2=b^2(e^2-1)?
Some explanation would be helpful.This isn't my homework.I was getting most of my problems wrong,so I wanted to clarify some general things.
Thank You.
