uh are you asking for like an actual explanation on why theyre different because the difference is pretty clear

actual explanation

hyperbola never touches the y axis... probably

Search google mothaforget@ do you search it.

Anyway here is it:
"All parabolas are of the same shape no matter what the size; all hyperbolas are of different shapes"

You know, parabolas are always "^" or "V" while hyperbolas can be "> <", ">" "X"

i haven't had trigonometry in years. enjoy.
to clarify, imagine two cones stacked on their points. now imagine you sliced through them at some angle. you'll either get closed shapes or open curves. hyperbolas and parabolas are cutting the cone closer to a vertical angle. ellipses and circles are when you cut closed to a horizontal angle. there's a ton of info you should have payed attention to in class with the focuses and directrix and such. enjoy homework.

well on the top there's only one and the bottom one there is two

[gr8dayseth]

one of the bolas is extremely hyperactive and produced an extra curve

What's more important is that they're plaguing Africa.
