TopicParametric equations

3 A curve has carlesian equation \(\mathrm { y } ^ { 2 } - \mathrm { x } _ { 2 } = 4\).
  1. Verify that $$\boldsymbol { x } = \boldsymbol { t } - - ^ { 1 } \quad \boldsymbol { t ^ { \prime } } \quad \boldsymbol { y } = \boldsymbol { t } + \frac { 1 } { \boldsymbol { t } ^ { \prime } }$$ are parametric equations of the curve.
    (u) Show lhat \(\left. \underset { d x } { \mathbf { d y } } = \frac { ( t - I ) ( r } { 12 + 1 } + 1 \right)\). Hence find the coordinates of the staionary points of the curve.
