Help with the Conic Sections?
I'm watching a video, and I have a study guide that I am doing along with it and the study guide and video would the definifitions differently.. Can you help.
The video gave me these
These four question will give me the four conic sections, which section belongs with the description?
Which of the conic sections is created by intersecting a plane parallel to the generator? (I think this one is a parabola, but it's the only one I could get.. )
Which of the conic sections is created by intersecting a horizontal plane through the upper or lower nappe?
Which of the conic sections is created by intersecting a vertical plane through the upper and lower nappes?
Which conic section is created by intersecting a plane through the upper or lower nappe such that the intersecting plane is not parallel to the generator nor parallel to the base of the cone?
