thank u so much for this sir..
-
Brilliant for visualisation, thanks!
-
Nice illustration. Now if more people would read Conics Books instead of Comic Books, our educational system might go into orbit!

@mechwarreir2 dat will b d equation of pair of sraight lines
-
i dont see how tilting creates a truly mathematical ellipse. wouldn't one end of that ellipse formed bulg out more than the other? I see on most animations the ratio is translated down the cone I suppose to account for this and its okay, i just want to hear it from someone that knows
-
Thanks, both your conics animations videos really help.
-
if you worked it out, the equation would be plus or minus the square root of x^2. givng you two intersecting lines
-
Oh I see...thanks man!! I thought it was the absolute value equation.
what if you make the plane completely vertical, and put it in the middle? You get 2 triangles. Whats the graph for 2 triangles?

Great question. You must realize first that the two triangles are actually never ending lines. Thus, when the plane cuts the conic vertically through the vertex, you get two intersecting lines. View my other conics video and you will see how a hyperbola degenerates to two intersecting lines.
