Intersection of Cone with Plane

[Jon]

I 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.

Suggestion for your next post:

INTERSECTION OF A PLANE WITH A CONE, SPECIAL

You will treat there the pair of intersecting straight lines - yes: that is a conic
section too! This observation may involve proprietary information.
