Calling Sequence

GetIntersection(pl1, pl2)

Parameters

pl1, pl2

-

list, Line, Plane ; points or Line or Plane objects defined by Student[MultivariateCalculus].

Returns

• 

the empty set, , if the lines or planes don't intersect.

• 

a list of coordinate values, if the intersection is a point.

• 

a Line or Plane object, if that is the intersection.

Description

• 

The GetIntersection command obtains the intersection of two point, Line, or Plane objects as understood by the Student[MultivariateCalculus] package.

• 

The Intersects command can be used to test if lines and/or planes intersect.

• 

The empty set, denoted by , is returned if the lines or planes do not intersect.

• 

If one object is contained in another, then their intersection is the smaller object. In particular, the intersection of any object  with itself is that object .
