Dear Student,
let hyperbola is x^2/a^2 – y^2/b^2 =1 
P=(x1,y1) 
S=(ae,0)=(sqrt(a^2+b^2),0) 
ordinary at P is a^2*x/x1 + b^2*y/y1 = a^2+b^2 
at G, y=0 so x=x1/a^2 (a^2+b^2) 
LHS:SG=sqrt(a^2+b^2) – x1/a^2 (a^2+b^2) 
SP=sqrt(sqrt(a^2+b^2)- x1)^2 +(- y1)^2) 
RHS: eSP = e* sqrt(sqrt(a^2+b^2)- x1)^2 +(- y1)^2) 
disentangling, we get sqrt(a^2+b^2) – x1/a^2 (a^2+b^2)=LHS 
so LHS=RHS (consequently demonstrated)
Cheers!!
