Homework Statement
I just remembered another question that I wasn't to sure about
1) if n1xn2 does not intersect the plan then n1xn2=0
I chose false for this one.
thoughts?
Mdhiggenz said:Its a true or false question, don't know what else to tell you.
n1xn2 represents the cross product of two vectors, n1 and n2.
Intersecting planes are two or more planes that share a common line or point. In other words, they have at least one point that exists on both planes.
If the cross product of two vectors does not intersect the plane, it means that the two vectors are parallel to each other and do not have a common point or line. Therefore, the result of the cross product will be a zero vector, indicating that there is no intersection.
Yes, if n1 and n2 are perpendicular to each other, their cross product will be a zero vector and will not intersect the plane.
The cross product is used to determine if two vectors intersect a plane. If the resulting vector from the cross product is a zero vector, it means that the two vectors are parallel and do not intersect the plane. If the resulting vector is not a zero vector, it means that the two vectors intersect the plane at a specific point or line.
