Ellipse from arbitrary pair of vectors

Propositions: [list=1] [*] [i]Every equation of the form[/i] [math]{\small {\bf x}(t) =\cos t {\bf a} + \sin t {\bf b}},[/math] [b]a[/b], [b]b[/b] [i]vectors in space, is an ellipse. [/i] [*] [i]Determine the axes of the ellipse, and transform the equation to the axes.[/i] [/list] →The ellipse should be oriented, with a continuous path. The transformed orientation and path should also be continuous (under manipulation).
