I have been given the following question on a homework sheet:


I was wondering if I could have some help. I have this so far:

x2−y2+2xy−1=(x+y)2−2y2−1=0x2−y2+2xy−1=(x+y)2−2y2−1=0

and so (x+y)2−2y2=1(x+y)2−2y2=1.

I can clearly see that this is a hyperbola. But if I let

x′=x+yx′=x+y and

y′=yy′=y

so that it is in the correct form, I believe this actually distorts the curve.

How can I make a suitable change of co-ordinates to show that it is a hyperbola without distorting the curve? My thoughts are along the same lines as normalisation and orthogonal bases, but I am just looking for some guidance as to whether I am heading in the correct direction and a way to do so without distorting the curve.
