Homework Statement


Graph the surface in R3

Homework Equations


Spherical equation [tex]\rho[/tex] = 2asin([tex]\varphi[/tex])

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 [tex]\leq[/tex] r [tex]\leq[/tex] 3, 0 [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\theta[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\pi[/tex]/2, -1 [tex]\leq[/tex] z [tex]\leq[/tex] 2
b) 2r [tex]\leq[/tex] z [tex]\leq[/tex] 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

a) 0 [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\rho[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 1, 0 [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\theta[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\pi[/tex]/2,
b) 0 [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\rho[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] 2/cos[tex]\varphi[/tex], 0 [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\varphi[/tex] [tex]\leq[/tex] [tex]\pi[/tex]/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.
