Q12 Conic Sections (HARD)
1
Note the equation of the plane is z = some constant. Change the equation of this yellow plane to z = 2. Then change it to z = 1. Then change it to z = 4. 1.How would you describe the intersection of this plane and double-napped cone?

2.Change the equation of the plane to z=x+2 . How would you describe the intersection of this plane and double-napped cone now? And find the equation of the intersecting curve.
3.Change the equation of the plane to z=0.5x+2 . How would you describe the intersection of this plane and double-napped cone now? And find the equation of the intersecting curve.
4.Change the equation of the plane to z=4x+2 . How would you describe the intersection of this plane and double-napped cone now? And find the equation of the intersecting curve.
