The question ebfore had me find the equation of the tangent for any parametizaton values of (x(t),y(t)).
Which is y = -x/t^2 + x(t)/t^2 + y(t)
I'm pretty sure the case that a tangent to the hyperbola can't pass through the point is because the point lies inside the curve.
So basically all i have to do is show that for x = 4 in the original equation has a y value less than 4, and for y = 4 in the equation has a x value less than 4? By the way I sketched the graph.Did I do this right?
