Find circular section of paraboloid 13y^2+4z^2=2x
----------
It's a paraboloid, so there is no circular section.
Any intersection of the paraboloid and a plane containing the x-axis is a parabola.
----
It the coefficients of y^2 and z^2 were equal, the intersections of the paraboloid and planes normal to the x-axis would be circles.
