can someone tell me what does that mean geometrically ?

Answer 1

Sorry, but I cannot access Dropbox. You have your math problem posted in your personal account, which i do not have (and do not want).

Please find some other way in which to share this problem with us. For example, take and share a screen shot, or draw the problem in the Draw utility, below, or describe the problem in words.

Answer 5

There are several ways you can look at this geometrically, so it really depends on what you mean.

Answer 6

These are "parametric equations." They trace out a surface in space; any point on that surface is described by (x, y, z), where x, y and z are all functions of the "parameter," lambda.

You could get a cross section of this surface by letting any of the 3 variables x, y and z equal zero and then plot the points defined by the other two variables.

For example, you could ignore z (the third dimension, usually vertical) and plot (x,y, 0) as parameter lambda varies.
