The Hyperbola · Exercise 65
A hedge is to be constructed in the shape of a hyperbola near a fountain at the center of the yard. Find the equation of the hyperbola and sketch the graph.
The hedge will follow the asymptotes and its closest distance to the center fountain is 5 yards.
Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
