Question 256816: A hyperbolic mirror (used in some telescopes) has property that a light ray directed at a focus will be reflected to the other focus. The focus of a hyperbolic mirror can be represented on a rectangular coordinate system by coordinates (24,0). Find the vertex of the mirror if the Mount at the the top edge of the mirror has coordinates (24,24). Sketch the focus, vertex, and part of the hyperbola to represent the mirror. Can you explain this?
