    You shouldn't assume that if you set x=0 and solve for that, that you'll get the right answer in the end. Instead, SOLVE the equation-system in terms of either x,y or z. then give your answer in vectorform or whatever form they ask for.
    Only given the low values for the normalvektors gives you a significant chance of finding a correct positionvector if you set x=0, nothing else. As said, solve the system.

      How are you supposed to solve the two equations with three unknowns? Or are you setting x to 1?

      The line should definitely cross X=0 unless it is parallel to the x axis. So this method should be fine

    7:00 why do that ? when you multiplied the numbers, you can't solve y and z because they don't eliminate. Right now its -3z and +3z in each equation. Use elimination (so substitution) and add those equations for x=0. You can find a precise point of the line when you make x=0, add line A and B, the 3z cancels, and youre left with y=-16. Then put y=-16 into either equation, you're left with z=-26, so now your vector is x,y,z=(0,-16,-26) (a starting point but any starting point would do) + t(3,15,23) (your position vector from n1xn2), or written parametrically. x=0+3t, y=-16+15t, z=-26+23t. When you doubled the number, you have not eliminated y/z from the equation...the number is irrelevant.

    @9:07 you turn z = y(13/9) and y = z(9/13) into y= -18 and z = -26. without showing how you got there I am completely confused.

  • @gokalpaksekili5128
    @gokalpaksekili5128 7 лет назад +5

    Thanks for such a valuable explanation. I have a suggestion about finding the y and z components of the common point. If you sum the two equations up 3z's will automatically cancel and you easily get y=-18.

    Hey, I believe what your mistake is, you are to take the negative of the second variable... if you see how you find the determinant it is by (-1)^(row number + column number)*det(matrix), and the thus it becomes -(-6-9) = 15... this is how I was taught the cross product :D

  • @angeldude101
    @angeldude101 2 года назад

    Something that feels weird when doing this is that the equation for a plane and the equation for a line are in completely different forms. One is an implicit equation constraining three variables, the other is an explicit function of 1 input. The plane equivalent of the equation of a line given feels like it should be a point and two vectors. (Of course I may have an unorthodox perspective after seeing the line intersection between two planes gotten by a single multiplication of the planes in question.)

    also, what would you do if there was no way to set the equation for a equal to equation for b?, for instance, what if equation b were equal to 7, not 6, multiplying that equation by two and setting it equal to equation a would not work, correct? is there a general way of going about this so that it always works?

    Thanks for the help, but I do have one question. One of the questions in my textbook about this is set the same way with two standard form equations, but one of them is set equal to 0. Your method is about if the two equations are set to real numbers, pretty much anything but the infinities and 0. So, what should I do?

    What were you doing during 8 min ~9 min over an equation group? If you hold x=0, you’ll find 3z and -3z can offset each other and find y=y=-18 in no more ten seconds. Your twisting calculation made me like a scratch cat.

  • @MrFrackmack

    im confused...first of all when you were working the equation at 8:11 how are you just able to ignore the 12?? , second, when i plugged in your final value for y (9/13*z) into the equation for the vector a instead of vector b as you did, i got z = -2, which is completely different. How do i know which equation to plug these values into?

    • @dorienvossenjeredpietersz110
      @dorienvossenjeredpietersz110 3 года назад

      If you hold x(or y,z, as long as it is any one of the unknowns) a different constant, you’ll get a different vector perpendicular to two normal vectors. However, the right vector should always be linearly relevant, not necessarily identical.

    I don't like the mixing up of co-ordinate notation with vector notation. A co-ordinate is not a vector, and vice versa. t(a, b, c) is a little meaningless when you think about it.

  • @vahagntumanyan1305
    @vahagntumanyan1305 11 лет назад

    What we are looking for is a point that belongs to both of the planes, if the point fits in both equations of the plane then it definitely belongs to each of them. That is why we are sure that it is on the line of intersection. In the same manner we could set x=2,6 and solve for it.
    It can happen that the line does not equal 0, or 2.6 or anything else we want to set it, but in that case in the equation of the plane we won't have a*x. we would have a fixed value. e.g 5+by+cz=7

      Coming from someone who is just starting his third semester of calculus and had only ever dealt with 2D coordinate systems, the answer is an emphatic yes. I've been dealing with lines and single-variable functions for so long I'm used to being able to simply look at the equation for a line and instantly visualizing it in my head. While I can visualize what a generic plane might look like, there is still a significant gap between seeing the equation for one and turning the numbers into a mental picture.
