Ellipse proof? Did you say ellipse proof?? (btw it's Franz's proof, not 
mine)

Here you go!



Some preliminaries:

Top view of the conic section and depiction of the coordinate system used 
in the proof:

              ^ x
              |
             -+- <= x=h
         .'   |   `.
        .     |     .
        |     |     |
        '     |     '      
         `.   |   .'
 y <----------+ <= x=0
             
Cone (side view):
                 .
                /|\
               / | \
              /b |  \
             /---+---' <= x = h
            /    |'   \
           /   ' |     \
          / '    |      \
x = 0 => '-------+-------\
        /    a   |        \

Proof:

r(x) = a - ((a-b)/h)x  and  d(x) = a - ((a+b)/h)x,  hence

y(x)^2 = r(x)^2 - d(x)^2 = ab - ab(2x/h - 1)^2 = ab(1 - 4(x - h/2)^2/h^2.

Hence (1/ab)y(x)^2 + (4/h^2)(x - h/2)^2 = 1  ...equation of an ellipse

Tao is so stupid in geometry he still thinks the ellipse is a conic Re: Terence Tao flunked the Math Test of a lifetime-generation test Archimedes Plutonium <plutonium.archimedes@gmail.com> - 2018-10-01 21:46 -0700

    modern society give Tao a prize in math?? The gimp can't even tell a ellipse apart from a oval Archimedes Plutonium <plutonium.archimedes@gmail.com> - 2018-10-05 21:29 -0700

            No wonder Terry Tao flunked the math test of a geometry-- ellipse is not a conic & proof of Fundamental Theorem of Calculus when you have an insane jerk like Moroney screaming all over the place Archimedes Plutonium <plutonium.archimedes@gmail.com> - 2018-10-31 18:49 -0700

                Why does Moroney and Christensen talk to Terry Tao as if a baby? Is it because of ellipse or Calculus? Archimedes Plutonium <plutonium.archimedes@gmail.com> - 2018-11-01 07:05 -0700

                Why does Christensen talk of Terry Tao over the ellipse as if Terry was some "baby in math"? Is it because Christensen is insane and believes he is a member of mathematics, yet the imp teaches 2 OR 10 = 12 Archimedes Plutonium <plutonium.archimedes@gmail.com> - 2018-11-13 13:58 -0800
                maybe Tao has eyesight problems, unable to see a ellipse from oval Re: Why does Christensen talk of Terry Tao over the ellipse as if Terry was some "baby in math"? Archimedes Plutonium <plutonium.archimedes@gmail.com> - 2018-11-16 12:52 -0800
                could a spammer vvgra help Tao see the ellipse Re: maybe Tao has eyesight problems, unable to see a ellipse from oval Re: Why does Christensen talk of Terry Tao over the ellipse as if Terry was some "baby in math"?
