Post by JonI have worked out the general case for the intersection of any plane with
any cone.
This has already been discovered, but it is not proprietary information.
It is the foundation for parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, hyperbolics, or
anything having to do with sections of a cone.
Don't be perplexed by the long equations. It is only algebra.

Thanks might come in handy some day...
(Or maybe just to do some "insane ammount of calculations test"... maybe to
determine speed or accuracy of equipment ;))
Anyway... why go through all the trouble of making it impossible to "save
the page" to file ?
(IE8 complains can't save page to file).
For me this is easily solved by copieing and pasting the text inside
frontpage :)
Just requires a little bit more of time ;)
(Maybe it's just a bug in your page ? ;))
Anyway it seems you are on windows using outlook express to post this

<title>Intersection of a Plane with a Cone, General</title>

Apperently the webpage was made with a-to-me-unknown-tool called: "TRELLIX
BUILDER".
Maybe it adds some nasty bugs... or maybe it's just a buggy product =D
Hmm further investigation reveals... it's a website builder/webhosting
thingy:
http://www.trellix.com/
Anyway it seems like that.. good luck with it ! ;) :)
