Question: In R 3 , the two surfaces with the Cartesian equations x = 4 y 2 + 9 2 and 2 x y - 9

In R3, the two surfaces with the Cartesian equations x=4y2+92 and 2xy-9z=0 intersect to form a curve C, which passes through the point P:(x,y,z)=(12,0,0). The curve C is parametrized by the function r:RR3 that is defined by r(t)=12cosh(t)i+3sinh(t)j+4sinh(2t)k.
a) Verify for all tinR that r(t) does indeed lie on the intersection of the two surfaces. (4 marks)
b) Determine a vector equation of the line L that is tangent to the curve C at the point P.(6 marks)
