We know that the intersection of a plane and double-napped cone is a conic section. [br][br]One particular conic section shown below is a [b]PARABOLA[/b]. [br][br]Interact with the applet below for a few minutes. Then answer the questions that follow. [br][br][b][color=#0000ff]Note:[/color][/b][br][b]LARGE POINTS [/b]are moveable [b]AT ANY TIME[/b]. [br][br][b][color=#1e84cc]To explore in Augmented Reality, see the directions below the applet. [/color][/b]
How would you describe the inclination of the [b][color=#38761d]green plane[/color][/b] with respect to the [color=#bf9000][b]cones[/b][/color]? Explain.
How would you describe the action that happens towards the end of the animation?
1) Open up GeoGebra 3D app on your device. [br][br]2) Go to the MENU (horizontal bars) in the upper left corner. Select OPEN. [br] In the Search GeoGebra Resources input box, type [b]ztM2Yffm[/b][br] (Note this is the resource ID = last 8 digits of the URL for this resource.)[br][br][b]Note: [/b][br][br]The [b]i[/b] slider controls the animation. You can also move the [b][color=#bf9000]LARGE YELLOW POINT[/color][/b]. Then press AR again to explore in Augmented Reality.
