Consider the curve with equation x^2 - y^2 = 1. If there are parts of the question that have no answer or are impossible, explain why that is so. Find the coordinates of the points where the curve intersects the coordinate axes.

Step 1
This means that y=0. Substituting y=0 into the equation x^2-y^2=1, we get x^2=1, which gives us two solutions: x=1 and x=-1. Therefore, the curve cuts the x-axis at the points (1,0) and (-1,0). Show more…

At each point (x, y) on the curve the slope equals the square of the distance between the point and the y-axis; the point (-1, 2) is on the curve. Find an equation of the curve that satisfies the given condition.
