Homework Statement
Find the curve that is the intersection of x-y-z>-10 and x2+y2/4+z2/9=36.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The best idea I have is to define x as x=y+z-10 and substitute it into the ellipsoid equation to get a function defined by y and z; the trouble is that leaves out the x.
I need to define the curve explicitly in terms of three variables as I need to later take the gradient of the curve.
Help appreciated. Thanks.
