[?] Plot multiple functions (2D and 3D)?

Jonas Eriksson
Posted 8 years ago

Hi!

I can't get the graphing functions to quite work. I want to plot three simple functions that look something like this:

x^2+2y-3z=8, x+y=10, 3z+7y=20

And I want to show them in both 2D and 3D graphs where they intersect, (ex: in x=3, y=8, z=10), how do I do that?

I was looking at the Plot and LogPlot command, but I am not quite sure I am looking at the right place

There is no solution in real domain for the three equations, and the intersection point you give is incorrect as can be easily seen by checking the second equation; i.e. 3 + 8 != 10.

For plotting, I think Sander gives excellent advice on showing the three surfaces.

You will need ContourPlot and ContourPlot3D, there are a bunch of examples in the documentation. Copy paste and you're good to go.
