Question 33515: Can you help me to understand and explain this? Thanks.
Conic sections are curves that are created by intersecting a right circular cone and a plane.
-Explain how these curves can be created geometrically.
-Are conic sections functions?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Circle: pass the plane thru the cone parallel to the base
Ellipse: pass the plane thru the cone but not parallel to the base
Parabola: pass the plane thru the cone parallel to the vertical axis of the cone
Hyperbola: Put one cone on top of the other---tip to tip.
pass the plane thru the double cone parallel to the vertical axis of the cone
