This word is an adjective, usually found in mathematical descriptions; for example, a hyperbolic curve. The adjective tells us that the object the adjective describes, has hyperbolic characteristics. So, to answer your question best, we need to know the noun that your adjective describes.

Hyperbole is an exaggeration so dramatic no one could believe it; overstate to emphasize a point. For EX- Her hair is so long she needs a hairbrush the size of a car. BUT ITS NOT REAL THAT HER HAIR IS SO LONG ........................ THANKS *

How are the catenary arch and parabolic arch different?

A catenary is produced by hanging a chain from two points some distance apart. The equation for a catenary is the hyperbolic cosine. One simple example of a catenary can be found if you look at the power lines running between two poles. A parabola is produced by putting a hanging chain or cable under an equally dispersed load. An example of this can be seen on a suspension bridge, the cable hanging from two towers with the road below hanging from vertical cables attached to the main suspension cables.


Did Leonardo da vinci invent solar power?

When we speak of solar "power" today, we are usually referring to making electricity from sunlight using photovoltaic cells. This would have been totally unknown in Leonardo's time.However, he did use solar energy to heat things, usually with "burning mirrors"-- that is, hyperbolic round mirrors that concentrate the sun's light into a heat source. This would sort-of look like the satellite dishes for TV service, only made of brightly-polished bronze or silver, rather than the back-silvered glass of the mirror in your bathroom. These can concentrate light at a specific focal distance (if well-made), effectively as a lens for burning!Shaped mirrors can use focused reflection, rather than the refraction of a glass lens, but their making must likewise be very precise. Leo wrote about optics and burning mirrors, their mathematical calculation, and their manufacture-- and he designed a machine to grind the surfaces for large burning mirrors. Unfortunately, the way it is drawn in the notebooks of his that we have today, it could not have worked--- so, it was probably redesigned as it was being constructed--- IF it was ever constructed at all.Even known geniuses can have a bad day-- or a poorly-thought-out idea!

What is hyperbolic descriptions?

Hyperbolic means of or relating to a hyperbole. A hyperbole is an intentional exaggeration; therefore a hyperbolic description is when a person describes something using an obvious exaggeration. For example if you say, "I've told you a million times not to exaggerate."
