Question

The picture below illustrates a special type of conic section called

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture below illustrates a hyperbola.

The intersecting plane does not pass through the vertex of a right circular cone (the vertex of the cone is the point where two nappes meet).

As you can see from the diagram, the plane intersects both nappes of a right circular cone.

Hence, correct option is option A: The plane does not pass through the vertex and intersects both nappes of a right circular cone.
