This example demonstrates the conic sections formed by the intersection of a cone and a plane at different positions. Key math concepts include cone, conic sections, intersection, special points, and quadratic equations. It uses GeoGebra commands like cone, a, and b to construct the shapes. Suitable for high school students learning analytical geometry and solid geometry.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Quadric cone
  2. Numeric a(0.25)
  3. z = (a * x) + 2
