Find a vector rt that describes the curve C of intersection
Find a vector r(t) that describes the curve C of intersection between the given surfaces. Sketch the curve C. Use the indicated parameter.
x2+y2=9, z=9-x2; x=3cost
Solution
Given:x2+y2=9,
z=9-x2;
x=3cost;
if x=3cost then y^2=9-x^2
=9-(3cost)^2
=9-9cost^2
=9(1-cost^2)
=9sint^2
y=3sint
z=9-x^2
=9-(3cost)^2
=9-9cost^2
=9(1-cost^2)
=9sint^2
then r(t)=xi+yj+zk
r(t)=3cost i+3sint j+9sint^2 k.
