Sep 7, 2009 · How do I find the vector parallel to the line x+2 = 1/2y = z-3 ? the book says its < 1,2,1 > but I have no idea how to get there?

Jan 27, 2008 · An "equation" is not a geometric object and you cannot talk about something being parallel to an "equation"! I suspect that you mean "Find a unit vector parallel to the graph of …

Vectors describe amounts that extend in a direction and have a magnitude. Explore the definition, types, and examples of vectors and discover position vectors, unit vectors, and equal vs. …

Jul 14, 2011 · A geodesic parallel transports itself, but a line of constant lattitude isn't a geodesic. Thus, a vector pointing along the path of a line of constant lattitude isn't parallel transported by …

Mar 13, 2010 · If they were parallel, you could write one direction as a scalar multiple of the other. Since you cannot do that as well as the cross-product is not zero, the vectors are not parallel.

Sep 21, 2011 · Homework Statement Find a vector parallel to the line of intersection of the planes given by the equations 2x-3y+5z=2 and 4x+y-3z=7. Homework Equations How do I go about …

Sep 11, 2011 · Draw a picture of two parallel lines and label A,P, and B and the angle θ between the vectors AP and AB. If you draw a perpendicular line between the vectors you will see that …

Jul 14, 2011 · I am having trouble understanding the concept of parallel transport of a vector along a closed curve. It is said that if the space where the curve resides has a curvature the …

Jan 23, 2007 · Find a unit vector that is (a) parallel to and (b) normal to the graph of f (x) at the given point. Then sketch. f (x)=x^2 point= (3, 9) Homework Equations None that I'm aware of. …

Line of Intersection of Two Planes If a and b are the normal vectors of two planes P 1 and P 2, respectively, then the cross product a × b is parallel to the line of intersection of P 1 and P 2.
