How do you convert a 3D parameterization into (i,j,k) form?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

xi+yj+zk

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if i understand the question that is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have a line x=(t+1,2t+2,3t+3) and I want to turn it into ijk

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(t+1) i + (2t+2) j + (3t+3) k

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or dp we omit the given reference point?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your vector to the point is t<1,2,3>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I want to do a cross product of two lines in that parametric form so I wanted to turn them into rectangular or something or the like.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could I use the parametric form?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

show me both lines so that i can recall what it is i need to remember :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

to cross 2 lines you just need the vector components

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the vector components are the coeffs of the variable

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this one has a vector or <1,2,3> and you other line is?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1316897118810:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(8t+1,2-t,-t+3) is the other line. And I want to find a cross product or the two so I can find a plane that contains both of them eventually.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

right .... the cross is the normal of the plane

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I would find the difference of the two vectors then dot it with the norm, eh?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(8t+1,2-t,-t+3)|dw:1316897201150:dw|
