Topic
Hyperbolic functions
The hyperbola \(H\) is given by the equation \(x ^ { 2 } - y ^ { 2 } = 1\)
Write down the equations of the two asymptotes of \(H\).
Show that an equation of the tangent to \(H\) at the point \(P ( \cosh t , \sinh t )\) is
$$y \sinh t = x \cosh t - 1$$ The tangent at \(P\) meets the asymptotes of \(H\) at the points \(Q\) and \(R\).
Show that \(P\) is the midpoint of \(Q R\).
Show that the area of the triangle \(O Q R\), where \(O\) is the origin, is independent of \(t\).
