Solution
For a plane to be tangent to the ellipsoid, the condition is
$a^2l^2 + b^2m^2 + c^2n^2 = p^2$.

Solution
Eliminate the plane equation from sphere to get quadratic surface representing cylinder.
Correct reduction gives:
$ x^2+y^2+z^2+xy+yz-zx-9=0 $

Solution
Reciprocal cone coefficients are reciprocals of given coefficients.
So equation becomes
$\frac{x^2}{1} + \frac{y^2}{1/2} + \frac{z^2}{1/3} = 0$
Multiplying gives
$6x^2 + 3y^2 + 2z^2 = 0$
