Question:

Let C be a curve in R3 not passing through the origin. The cone on C is the surface consisting of all lines passing through the origin and a point on C [Figure 19(A)].

Cone on ellipse C N Cone on parabola C (half of cone shown)

Show that the elliptic cone + (  )  + (  ) (x, y, c) such that = 1. = + is, in fact, a cone on the ellipse C
