Answer

$y^{2}-x^{2}=4,\quad y \gt 0$ .

Work Step by Step

Restrictions on x and y, due to the parametric equations: $x\in(-\infty,\infty),\quad y \gt 0$ From the identity $\cosh^{2}t-\sinh^{2}t=1,$ multiply by $ 2^{2}$: $2^{2}\cosh^{2}t-2^{2}\sinh^{2}t=4$ substitute, $y^{2}-x^{2}=4,\quad y \gt 0$ This is the hyperbola, vertical axis, upper wing. To graph, create a function value table using values for t, in ascending order of t, calculating the x- and y-coordinates of points on the graph. Plot and join the points obtained with a smooth curve, noting the direction in which t increases.
