During your onboarding as a junior signal analyst at Global Nav Systems, you are reviewing the mathematical models used to pinpoint locations. The tracking software calculates a target's position based on a curve created by the signal's travel paths to two stationary receiving towers. By definition, which geometric curve is defined as the set of all points in a plane where the difference of their distances from two fixed points is constant?

As a junior technician at an architectural firm, you are reviewing the geometric specifications for a new cooling tower design. The tower's structure is based on a curve where the difference of the distances from any point on the curve to two fixed interior points is constant. To ensure the technical documentation is accurate, match the following geometric terms to their correct definitions.
While working on a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) model for a new telescope lens, a technician observes that the cross-section of a hyperbola is composed of two separate, disconnected curves. Is it true or false that these two distinct parts of the hyperbola are called branches?
