Is There a Simpler Way to Express Hyperbolic Coordinates in Terms of x and y?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on expressing hyperbolic coordinates (u, v) in terms of Cartesian coordinates (x, y) using the equations x = √((√(u² + v²) + u)/2) and y = √((√(u² + v²) - u)/2). Participants explored the possibility of simplifying these expressions further, with one suggestion being to square each equation to potentially reveal new insights. However, attempts to apply half-angle formulas for simplification were unsuccessful.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of hyperbolic coordinates
  • Familiarity with Cartesian coordinates
  • Knowledge of algebraic manipulation techniques
  • Basic concepts of trigonometric identities, particularly half-angle formulas
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for simplifying coordinate transformations
  • Explore the application of squaring equations in algebra
  • Study hyperbolic functions and their properties
  • Investigate advanced algebraic techniques for coordinate conversion
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physics students, and anyone interested in coordinate transformations and algebraic simplifications in mathematical contexts.

This system of coordinates:

can be "translated" in terms of x and y, so:
x = \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{u^2+v^2}+u}{2}}
y = \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{u^2+v^2}-u}{2}}
Exist another form more simplified of write x and y in terms of u and v? I tried rewrite these expressions using the fórmulas of half angle but didn't worked...

What about squaring each equation?
After you do that, maybe an idea will come to you.
