As you slice through your imaginary sugar cone structure, you slowly rotate from
being perpendicular to the cones’ axes to being parallel to them. Which of the following is the correct sequence of curves you will find?
a. Circle, Parabola, Hyperbola, Ellipse
b. Hyperbola, Ellipse, Parabola, Circle
c. Circle, Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
d. Ellipse, Parabola, Circle, Hyperbola
---------------
It will go:
Circle (when perpendicular)
Ellipse
Parabola
Hyperbola (when parallel)
That's not listed above.
