Homework Statement


Graph the surface in R3

Homework Equations


Spherical equation \rho = 2asin(\varphi)

The Attempt at a Solution


I think its just a sphere with a radius of 2

Homework Statement


Graph the solid whose given coordinates satisfy the inequalities

Homework Equations


a) 0 \leq r \leq 3, 0 \leq \theta \leq \pi/2, -1 \leq z \leq 2
b) 2r \leq z \leq 5 - 3r

The Attempt at a Solution


I figure these are cylinders because of variables used to describe the coordinates but besides that I'm having trouble know what to use the inequalities for

Graph the solid whose given coordinates satisfy the inequalities

Homework Equations


a) 0 \leq \rho \leq 1, 0 \leq \theta \leq \pi/2,
b) 0 \leq \rho \leq 2/cos\varphi, 0 \leq \varphi \leq \pi/4

The Attempt at a Solution


Spheres, but same problem as with the others, I'm just not doing well at understanding how to use the inequalities to graph it

Hi STLCards002! :smile:

Sorry, but everything is wrong. :cry:

The only thing I can suggest is that you draw a nice big diagram (take up a whole page), with x y and z axes marked, and just draw in the boundaries.

If it helps, pretend the inequalities are equalities … that will give you the boundaries, and you can work out which parts to shade, later.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
