I want to put vector n = (a, b, c) as normal vector of plane with assume a^2 + b^2 + c^2 > 0. For example

with(geom3d):assume(a^2 + b^2 + c^2>0):

plane(P,a*(x-1) + b*(y+2) + c*(z-3)=0,[x,y,z]);

But, i got: "Error, (in geom3d:-plane) unable to define the plane"

Plese help me. How can i put vector n = (a, b, c) as normal vector of plane?

Thank you very much.

How do I mask an input string?

That is when queried for an input, as the characters are typed they are presented differently.

Write the equation of the sphere has its centre at C(1, 2, 3) and cut the  straight line

Delta: x = t+1, y = t-1, z = -t at the points A and B so that the triangle ABC is a equilateral triangle.

This is my code.

Please help me the following code

f:=x->x^3-3*x^2+2;

g:=x->k*(x+1)+3;

solve([f(x) = g(x), diff(f(x),x) = diff(g(x),x)],[x,k]);

evalf(%);

The result of Maple is

[[x = .168254401781027, k = -.924597779530090]]

But, the system of equations has three solutions.

Problem. Write the equation of the sphere passing through the three points

A(-1, 2, 1), B(-3, 4, -5), C(1, 2, -3) and its centre 

1) lies in  the plane (P): 2*x + 3*y -z = 0;

2)lies on the sphere (x-3)^2 + (y+1/3)^2 + (z-1)^2=1.

This is my code

1) 

restart;with(geom3d):

point(A,-1,2,1):

point(B,3,-4,5):

Hello,

I solved an equation, and Maple returns two values.  Even though I said, assuming v1i>0, the solve command returnse this:

logically evalf(x^(1/10)); should return x^(0.1000...0), not x^(1/10). Or it's just case of other rule?

When I do the following command in Maple:

How can I create using Maplet a window that is not modal, so I could minimize or maximize it (I know what to do to make it resizable and that's not the question I would like to ask).

This simple example creates modal window with no minimize and no maximize button:

> with(Maplets[Elements]);
> maplet := Maplet(Window([]));
> Maplets[Display](maplet);

Is there an option to set for a Window or maybe I should change some settings in Maple 13 that I'm using ?

I would like to see the contents of a .m file into a human readable form.  How do I do that?

Problem. Write the equation of the tangent planes to the sphere

x^2+  y^2 + z^2 -10*x +2*y +26*z -113=0

which are parallel to the lines

d1: x = -5+2*t, y = -3*t+1, z = -13+2*t

d2: x = -7+3*t, y = -1-2*t, z = 8.

This is my code

restart:

with(geom3d):

line(d1,[-5+2*t,-3*t+1,-13+2*t],t):

a:=ParallelVector(d1):

line(d2,[-7+3*t,-1-2*t,8],t):

Dear all,

I am stuck with my gradient projection algorythm. I asked several questions on this but nothing helped.

So, the basic problem I have is the following:

I need to make a procedure, which would take as an input some function of time, x(t),

calculate numerical solution for the ODE system

diff(y(t),t)=f(t,x(t),y(t))->y_1(t)

via dsolve/numeric

then update the value of the function x(t)=f(y_1(t)),

giving as a result x(t...

I tried to find the list of hotkeys for Maple's commands but I found nothing.

Is there any hotkeys?

for example, It would be useful to have hotkeys for 'execute ALL toolbar', for Greek letters.

In MathCAD you write Latin analog + 'ctrl + G' and the programm returns Greek letter. for example to achieve 'alpha' you have to input a + 'ctrl+G'.

As many before me, ive lost all my note to this problem. Is there any chance to salvage this document or is it gone.

I hope you can help me

Hi,

I'd like to draw a disk with center (0,0,0) , radius 1, in the plane theta=constant (or y=tan(theta) x), where theta is given different of 0.

How can I proceed?

Thanks.
