Homework Statement
A cone C, with height I and radius I, has its base in
the xz-plane and its vertex on the positive y-axis. Find a
function g(x, y, z) such that C is part of the level surface
g(x, y, z) = 0.
Homework Equations
What would be the formula for the cone such that the base of the cone is lying on the xz-plane and the vertex is on the y-axis?
The Attempt at a Solution
We know that the formula for a cone is [tex]x^2+y^2-z^2[/tex], but we don't know where to go from there to get the formula for the description above.
