    For vector AB, how to find vector B given vector A and the angle between

    If I took 3 points on the plane, and obtained some formula ax + by + cz + d = 0 with the normal vector (a,b,c), isn't this sufficient enough for the second equation? I tried this. I end up with a complex third equation that looks something like this : some scalar = x^2 + x + y^2 + y + z^2...

    For vector AB, how to find vector B given vector A and the angle between

    Hello, I have a problem I've been trying to solve. I originally have vector AB. I know both vector A, vector B, and the angle between. They are on the same plane. Now say I change the angle between the two vectors. They still remain the same magnitudes, and remain on the same plane. Assume...

    Finding Axes of Conic Section Equation

    Wow thanks for the quick reply. So I have obtained the eigenvector of the matrix (A B/2; B/2 C). From my research I have determined that I also need to determine the eigenvalues of that matrix. But from here, I am still confused. How does this relate to knowing the 'a' and the 'b' in the...

    Finding Axes of Conic Section Equation

    Hi, I've been stuck on this for a few days now. I am trying to determine the X and Y axis of the general conic section equation: Q(x,y)=Ax^2 +Bxy+Cy^2 +Dx+ Ey+F =0 I have A, B, C, D, E, and F. I have already determined the center coordinates, but I have not found information on...
