The discussion revolves around how to graph the intersection of two planes, specifically the planes defined by the equations y=3 and z=5, in 3D coordinates using Mathematica. Participants also explore how to graph a cylinder represented by the equation x² + z² = 9.
The discussion includes multiple viewpoints on how to approach the graphing of the cylinder, with some uncertainty regarding the best method to represent it in Mathematica.
There is a lack of consensus on whether the equation for the cylinder can be used directly or if it necessitates parametrization, and participants have not resolved the specifics of the plotting method.
That works. As one additional question, how would I graph the curve ##x^2 + z^2 = 9## in three dimensions? Do I have to parametrize it, or can I use that equation directly?Orodruin said:ParametricPlot3D[{x,3,5},{x,-10,10}]
Exchange the 10s for whatever suits your plotting range.
