The hyperbola is the least common of the four conic
sections. |
 | The equation of a hyperbola on a horizontal vertex is x2 / a2
- y2 / b2 = 1. |
| The equation of a vertical vertex is y2 / a2 - x2
/ b2 = 1 |

A sonic boom shock wave has the shape of a cone and
intersects the ground in the shape of a hyperbola. It hits every point on
this curve at the same time. |
