geom3d[pole] - find the pole of a given plane with respect to a given sphere
Calling Sequence
pole(A, p, s)
Parameters
A
-
the name of the pole
p
plane
s
sphere
Description
The pole of a plane p with respect to a sphere is defined to be the point whose polar is the given plane p.
For a detailed description of the pole of A, use the routine detail.
The command with(geom3d,pole) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
Examples
Obtain the coordinates of the poles of the planes 2*x+2*y-3*z+7=0, 4*x+z-3=0, and 5*x-y+3*z-8=0 with respect to the sphere x^2+y^2+z^2-4*x+2*y-2*z=0, and show that they are collinear.
