Linear Transformation of Circle to Hyperbola

639 Views Asked by At

Circle $x^2+y^2=1 \rightarrow x^2-y^2=1 $ Given linear transformation above, I need to find the standard matrix (2*2) of such linear transformation. (If there is no such transformation matrix, i need to explain why)

just a hint

A point of the circle $x^2+y^2=1$ is $(\cos (t),\sin (t)) $.

A point of the hyerbola $x^2-y^2=1$ is $(\cosh (t),\sinh (t)) .$

Hint: How do linear transformations affect area? That is, if a linear transformation, with matrix $M$, carries $A$, $B$, $C$ to $A^\prime$, $B^\prime$, $C^\prime$, then how is the area of $\triangle ABC$ related to the area of $\triangle A^\prime B^\prime C^\prime$? Then: What can you say about areas of triangles inscribed in a circle vs inscribed on a hyperbola?
