Homework Statement
At what point does the curve [itex]\vec{r}(t) = <t,0,2t-t^2>[/itex] intersects the paraboloid [itex]z=x^2+y^2[/itex]
Homework Equations
None Known
The Attempt at a Solution
I assume that it might be easier to parametrize [itex]z=x^2+y^2[/itex], but I'm not sure how to do that or if there's a more standard approach.
I missed a day of class and I can't find any examples more than vaguely similar to this in the book. :\
Thanks for any help!
