After the first transformation (in each screencast), cross sections parallel to the plane [i]z[/i] = 0 are SQUARES. How can we mathematically justify this for each screencast? [br][br]For each transformation after the first (in each screencast), are there any regions over the xy-plane for which the surface is UNDEFINED? If so, what are these regions? How can we tell?
After the transformations are completed (for both pyramids), how would you describe regions (over the xy-plane) for which both surfaces are undefined? How do we know this to be true?
