hiperbolára

Hiperbola is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts. In rhetoric, a hyperbole is an exaggeration used for emphasis or effect. It is a figure of speech that is not meant to be taken literally. Examples include "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" or "this bag weighs a ton." Rhetorical hyperbole is common in everyday language, advertising, and literature to make a point more forcefully or humorously.

In mathematics, a hyperbola is a type of conic section. It is a smooth, non-negative curve that can be defined geometrically as the set of all points in a plane such that the absolute difference of the distances from two fixed points, called foci, is constant. Alternatively, it can be defined as the intersection of a cone with a plane that is steeper than the cone's generating lines. A hyperbola consists of two separate, unbounded branches that are mirror images of each other. It has two asymptotes, which are lines that the branches approach but never touch. The standard equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with its transverse axis along the x-axis is x²/a² - y²/b² = 1.

The term "hiperbolára" is the Hungarian word for "hyperbole," which directly translates to "to the hyperbola" or "for the hyperbola," depending on the context. Therefore, when encountering "hiperbolára," it is important to determine whether the context refers to the rhetorical device of exaggeration or the mathematical curve.
