When rotating a conic section, combinations of sin? and cos? are often used ~ yes, each is used
When rotating a conic section, only sin? needs to be used ~ no, cosine is used as well
Conic sections can neither be rotated nor translated ~ no, they can be rotated and moved
Conic sections can be rotated but not translated ~ no, they can be rotated and moved
