Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space. An arbitrary line and cylinder may have no intersection at all.
This segment joins the origin with the closest point on the line to the origin. The normal form of the equation of a straight line on the plane is given by: + =, where is the angle of inclination of the normal segment (the oriented angle from the unit vector of the x-axis to this segment), and p is the (positive) length of the normal ...
First we consider the intersection of two lines L 1 and L 2 in two-dimensional space, with line L 1 being defined by two distinct points (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2), and line L 2 being defined by two distinct points (x 3, y 3) and (x 4, y 4). [2] The intersection P of line L 1 and L 2 can be defined using determinants.
The Möller–Trumbore ray-triangle intersection algorithm, named after its inventors Tomas Möller and Ben Trumbore, is a fast method for calculating the intersection of a ray and a triangle in three dimensions without needing precomputation of the plane equation of the plane containing the triangle.

a) different tangent lines (transversal intersection, after transversality), or b) the tangent line in common and they are crossing each other (touching intersection, after tangency). If both the curves have a point S and the tangent line there in common but do not cross each other, they are just touching at point S.
Searching for points that are on the line and on the sphere means combining the equations and solving for , involving the dot product of vectors: Equations combined ‖ o + d u − c ‖ 2 = r 2 ⇔ ( o + d u − c ) ⋅ ( o + d u − c ) = r 2 {\displaystyle \left\Vert \mathbf {o} +d\mathbf {u} -\mathbf {c} \right\Vert ^{2}=r^{2 ...
The open (closed) upper half-space is the half-space of all (x 1, x 2, ..., x n) such that x n > 0 (≥ 0). The open (closed) lower half-space is defined similarly, by requiring that x n be negative (non-positive). A half-space may be specified by a linear inequality, derived from the linear equation that specifies the defining hyperplane.
Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]
