Problem Statement

Answer the following questions.
(1) By setting x\plus{}\sqrt{x^2\minus{}1}\equal{}t, find the indefinite integral \int \sqrt{x^2\minus{}1}\ dx.
(2) Given two points P(p, q) (p>1, q>0) P(p,\ q)\ (p>1,\ q>0) and A(1, 0) A(1,\ 0) on the curve x^2\minus{}y^2\equal{}1. Find the area S S of the figure bounded by two lines OA, OP OA,\ OP and the curve in terms of p p.
(3) Let S\equal{}\frac{\theta}{2}. Express p, q p,\ q in terms of θ \theta.
