① This example demonstrates the relationship between hyperbolic functions (such as sinh, cosh) and the standard hyperbola graph by constructing a hyperbola with associated geometric elements. ② Core mathematical concepts include hyperbolic function definitions, standard hyperbola equations, parametric representation, and the connection between algebraic functions and geometric curves. ③ Construction details: Based on the summary, GeoGebra commands such as Point, Segment, Vector, PointIn, and Integral are used. Objects include points A, C, O, D, B; segments u, v, h, i, p, e, j; vectors g, b, c, d; function f; curve eq1; and text1. Dynamic points on the hyperbola are created via point-in-curve constraints, and the Integral command may compute areas or arc lengths. ④ Suitable for senior high school or early university students to grasp the geometric meaning of hyperbolic functions, and as a supplementary tool for calculus lessons involving hyperbolic integrals.
