Abstract

One gets every cubic curve with rational parametrization by projecting the curve with general point $(t\mid t^2\mid t^3)$ in different ways onto planes. This result shows the power of elementary methods.

Keywords: Parabola; space curves; twisted cubic; orthographic projection; divergent parabolas; trident curve.
