How do I plot 2 3D objects and get the function of their intersection?

Posted 11 years ago
I've been trying to plot the following two functions:
2y²+z²=1
and
x=y

But for some reason, no matter what I try, Wolfram Alpha refuses to plot these in 3D, even seperately.
What I basically want is the first function for every value of x (so a sort of cillinder) and the plane x=y for every value of z.

How do I go about this?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Josh,
Please post some of the code that you have been executing or eact phrasings of what you enter into Wolfram Alpha.  If you have access to Wolfram Mathematica, I highly suggest that you utilize that in the future.

You can solve your problem in Mathematica, with the following two code sequences.

ContourPlot3D[{2 y^2 + z^2 == 1}, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}, {z, -10,

   10}]


ContourPlot3D[{x == y}, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}, {z, -10, 10}]
