The discussion centers on finding a parameter representation for a line through points P=(1,1,2) and Q=(2,-3,5). The original poster, Petrus, initially struggles with the problem and mentions a Swedish text that accompanies the mathematical expressions. Other members emphasize the importance of translating the Swedish text to English for better understanding and assistance. Petrus later confirms that he solved the problem, expressing relief as he prepares for an upcoming exam. The interaction highlights the collaborative nature of problem-solving in mathematical discussions.

Hello MHb,
Decide one parameter producing for line l through the points $$P=(1,1,2)$$ and $$Q=(2,-3,5)$$
This is a exempel from my book, I understand how they got the first line but not the second, (I hope that it don't mather it's on Swedish)

Hey Petrus,

Actually, it would be helpful if you translated the text in Swedish to English. Most of our members do not speak or read Swedish, and while mathematics is universal, the explanatory statements are meant to supplement the mathematical expressions, that is, to explain the reasoning behind them. So, in an effort to provide the most meaningful post to our members, you should translate everything into English.

While it may be easier for you not to translate, it then requires more effort on the part of those trying to help, and it should be the other way around. (Wink)

Solved it :D Sorry about that, I am just repeats to my exam that is in few days so i am kinda stressed :P But I solved it:)

Thread 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
