Line-plane intersections Find the point (if it exists) at which the following planes and lines intersect. 2x - 3y + 3z = 2 and x = 3t, y = t, z = -t
Directions: The picture below shows a double right circular cone indicating its parts. Suppose a plane is to intersect and cut the cone. a. Draw a figure that will be creates when the plane is to cut the cone horizontally and perpendicular to the axis. b. Draw a figure when the plane is tilted and intersects only one cone forming a bounded curve.
Analytic Geometry:   Trace the curve r2 = 4cos4 o tan2 o
