| The Secant Line |
|
18 |
A secant line through two points between the red and
magenta points of tangency
meets the hyperboloid in 2 points, so there are two real
solutions to the problem in this case.
If the line is secant to points in different arcs, then it need not meet the
hyperboloid, and for these secant lines, there are no real
solutions to the problem.
