I was about to state this but since you posted it ahead of me, thanks anyway. I am seriously thinking of just swallowing it and just get a drop anyways and leave my prof with a bad impression. I know it sucks to leave people, profs especially, with a bad impression but I'l just swallow it and...
I'm using Cal Newport's time management tips (Find his excellent blog, Study Hacks) and without them I would have been licking dirt this whole semester so I don't mean to brag but I have better time management skills (Though I can and I will always find ways to improve) than most of the...
I am currently taking up a calculus course along with several other courses this semester. I am currently flunking the course and I really want to drop. Now, I'm not terrible at math. I'm actually pretty good. I have had a lot of lec and lab work from my engineering courses pile up in front of...
So what exactly is an osculating plane? r'(t) X r"(t)? Am I right?
From what I know it is a plane that kisses a point on the curve at point t of curve f(t) and it is a plane normal to r'(t) X r"(t)? Am I right?
So to look for this osculating plane I simply have to find the cross product of...
UPDATE: It's a bird. It's a plane. No its Captain Obvious!
People forget the previous equations and forget it all. I got it and it was really simple. I forgot my "v"! I knew something was missing! It was a simple elementary mistake.
I'll update on my solution (when I get back) if anyone...
Im pretty new here so does this forum have a drawing tool? I mean that there is a line Normal to the plane. It intersects at a certain specific point in the plane (What the problem in my textbook demands). The normal line is perpendicular to the plane so it is perpendicular to a line on the...
==========================================================================================================
EDIT: Current solution:
Dot product: N*PP0=<a,b,c>*<x-x0,y-y0,z-z0> = 0
--------------------------
NB: I have a point (2,1,0) on my normal line N that intersects the plane at...
LCKurtz & Halls of Ivy thank you for your timely replies. I understand where the both of you are headed but that's where the paradox in this problem is. With no knowledge of any other points on the plane 2x +y-z=0, I am unable to properly solve for "t" properly because I have "leftover" x's, y's...
Oh shoot. This isn't a homework but I have an upcoming exam in less than 24 hours and some solutions and answer would be nice.
Another question but the normal vector perpendicular to the plane is <2,1,-1> right? Where to from here...
Homework Statement
I need to locate the coordinates if a point of intersection x0,y0,z0 of a plane with equation 2x+y-z=0 and a line that is perpendicular to that plane and passes through a point G(2,1,0).
Homework Equations and
I understand that this is a normal line and a plane so...
