Conic Sections

Whenever a plane intersects a double-napped right-circular cone, the intersection of these 2 surfaces (cross section) is called a [b]conic section[/b]. [br][br]There are a few types of [b]conic sections[/b] (illustrated below). [br][br]Without looking up any other information on your internet browser, can you describe, in your own words, conditions that cause each conic section to form? [br][br][b]Note:[/b] [br]If the [color=#1e84cc][b]BLUE POINT[/b][/color] is [b][color=#1e84cc]LARGE[/color][/b], it is also moveable.
