How to convert parametric equations to Cartesian form?

I've been working on converting parametric equations into Cartesian form, but can't figure this out.
$$x = fract^2+1t^2-1$$
$$y = frac2tt^2-1$$
How do I covert that to Cartesian? Any help would be most appreciated.

Since $(t^2 - 1)x = t^2 + 1$ and $(t^2 - 1)y = 2t$, $$(t^2 - 1)^2 x^2 - (t^2 - 1)^2 y^2 = (t^2 + 1)^2 - 4t^2 = (t^4 + 2t^2 + 1) - 4t^2 = t^4 - 2t^2 + 1 = (t^2 - 1)^2.$$
Dividing through by $(t^2 - 1)^2$, we obtain $$x^2 - y^2 = 1$$

In general, you need to eliminate $t$ with the 2 equations.
For this one, we get a shortcut.
$$x+y=t+1 over t-1$$
$$x-y=t-1 over t+1$$
Then, obviously,
$$(x+y)(x-y)=1$$
$$(x^2-y^2)=1$$
