Q. The curve with parametric equation $x = e^{t} + e^{- t}\ y = e^{t} - {\ e}^{- t}$ and is

A) A circle
B) An ellipse
C) A hyperbola
D) A parabola
Explanation

(c)
Given, parametric equations are $x = e^{t} + e^{- t}$ and$\ y = e^{t}\ –e^{- t}$
Now, on squaring and then on subtracting, we get
$x^{2} - y^{2} = 4$
