    Parameterization of hyperbola intersecting cone

    Perhaps what I did is actually correct, privided I do not integrate past the singularities? This should not be so hard, but it is.

    Parameterization of hyperbola intersecting cone

    Thanks, I fixed the equation you mention. I am not sure how I would use hyperbolic functions to represent the cone in the manor done with r(t,z) = <z cos t, z sin t, z>. I guess a hyperbola can be expressed as (+/- a cosh(u),b sinh(u)) but I am not sure how that helps me. Arg, this is confusing.

    Parameterization of hyperbola intersecting cone

    Hello. I am having some trouble with the following problem and would be thankful if any of you could help me out. Homework Statement Let C be the hyperbola formed by intersecting the cone x^2+y^2=z^2, z>0 with the plane x+y+z=1, and let \textbf{f}(x,y,z)=<0,0,1/z^2>. I am trying...
