Homework Statement
Parameterize the curve of intersection of the cylinder x^2 + y^2 = 16 and the plane x + z = 5
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
i think i must first parameterize the plane
x = 5t, y = 0, z = -5t
then i think i plug those into the eq. of the cylinder
25t^2 = 16
t = .8
so x = 4, y = o, z = -4, am i on the right track, i feel like i made it up
