Parametrization for the curve on cylinder $y = 7 - x^4$ that passes through the point $(0, 7, -3) $when t = 0 and is parallel to the xy-plane

Can you help me?



So far I have turned $y = 7-x^4$ into $langle1, 1, 0rangle$ and used it to make the equation $L = (0, 7, -3) + t(1, 1, 0)$. I know this is wrong, but I just don't know what, and I know it has to do with $y = 7-x^4$.



Thank you in advance.

  • $y=7-x^4$ defines a surface, not a curve, given the implication that this is all in $mathbbR^3$.

  • @alex.jordan yes, yet he is clearly asking for the curve defined by intersecting said surface with the plane $z=-3$

When you choose your curve, $z$ can take any value, so just choose $f(t)=(t, 7-t^4,-3)$. Clearly, the curve is parallel to the xy-plane (a curve is parallel to a plane if it lies in a plane parallel to the plane)...no reparametrization is necessary and certainly we don't need to think about lines through the point $(0,7,-3)$.

    Required parametrization of curve parallel to base curve defined by first two coordinates is



    $$ x= t , y = 7 -t^4 , z = -3 $$



    $x,y $ relation shows that it is a fourth order parabola. Also no $x,y$ is involved in $z$. So it is a surface obtained by extruding the higher order parabola parallelly drawn along $z.$ Such independent two coordinates satisfy not a curve but the full surface, which are called cylinders.



    The base parabola curve is shown in green, and the surface generated upto $z=-3$ is yellow.The upper edge $z=-3$ is the curve your question.
