Question
### Finding the Curve of Intersection Between Surfaces

**Problem Statement:**

Find a vector function that represents the curve of intersection between the paraboloid:
\[ z = 4x^2 + y^2 \]

and the parabolic cylinder:
\[ x = y^2 - 1 \]

Then draw all three in GeoGebra (paraboloid, parabolic cylinder, and their intersection curve).

**Solution:**

1. **Identifying the Intersection Curve:**

   To find the curve of intersection, we need to express both surfaces in one set of parametric equations.

2. **Substitute \( x \) from the Parabolic Cylinder into the Paraboloid Equation:**

   From the parabolic cylinder equation:
   \[ x = y^2 - 1 \]

   Now, substitute \( x \) in the paraboloid equation:
   \[ z = 4(y^2 - 1)^2 + y^2 \]

3. **Simplify:**

   Simplify the equation to find \( z \) in terms of \( y \):
   \[ z = 4(y^2 - 1)^2 + y^2 \]
   \[ z = 4(y^4 - 2y^2 + 1) + y^2 \]
   \[ z = 4y^4 - 8y^2 + 4 + y^2 \]
   \[ z = 4y^4 - 7y^2 + 4 \]

4. **Forming the Vector Function:**

   The vector function representing the curve of intersection can then be written as:
   \[ \mathbf{r}(t) = \left( t^2 - 1, t, 4t^4 - 7t^2 + 4 \right) \]
   Here, we replaced the parameter \( y \) with \( t \).

5. **Graphing in GeoGebra:**

   - **Graph the Paraboloid:** Input the equation \( z = 4x^2 + y^2 \) into GeoGebra.
   - **Graph the Parabolic Cylinder:** Input the equation \( x = y^2 - 1 \).
   - **Graph the Intersection Curve:** Use the parametric equations from the vector function \( \mathbf{r}(t) = \left( t^2
