Question
(a) Eliminate the parameter to find a Cartesian equation of the curve.(b) Sketch the curve and indicate with an arrow the direction in which the curve is traced as the parameter increases.$x=2 \cosh t, \quad y=5 \sinh t$
Step 1
We can use the identity $\cosh^2 t - \sinh^2 t = 1$ to eliminate the parameter $t$. Show more…
