2a is used in the equation because the is a point on the hyperbola and it is the difference in the distances from this point to the foci.
✔ centerfocusvertex
This can be shown algebraically if we let a be the distance from the to the vertex. Then, the difference of the distances is (c + a) – .
(a – c)(c + a)✔ (c – a)
