Q1. A right circular cone has vertex at the origin, axis along the x-axis, and semi-vertical angle 30 degrees. Its equation is:
Explanation
For a right circular cone with vertex at the origin and axis along the x-axis, the perpendicular distance from the axis satisfies y^2 + z^2 = x^2 tan^2(alpha), where alpha is the semi-vertical angle. With alpha = 30 degrees, tan^2(alpha) = 1/3. Thus 3(y^2 + z^2) = x^2, or x^2 - 3y^2 - 3z^2 = 0.
