To prove that the line segment \( AB \) is parallel to the normal to the hyperbola at point \( C \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Points on the Hyperbola Let the points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) on the hyperbola \( xy = c^2 \) be represented in terms of parameters \( t_1 \), \( t_2 \), and \( t_3 \): - Point \( A \) has coordinates \( (ct_1, \frac{c^2}{t_1}) \) - Point \( B \) has coordinates \( (ct_2, \frac{c^2}{t_2}) \) - Point \( C \) has coordinates \( (ct_3, \frac{c^2}{t_3}) \) ...
