Homework Equations
x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = r^2
Conversion equations between the three coordinate systems
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried to solve this problem using spherical/cylindrical coordinates from the beginning, but that wouldn't work so I started with cartesian. However, I couldn't find the boundaries for x or y, but I believe z is 0≤z≤2. Using either spherical and cylindrical, I found that 0≤θ≤2π. This is all I could extract on my own, and I don't know if it's even possible to convert without knowing φ (This is the angle from the z-axis). Am I approaching this wrong, or missing some information I should have extracted? (Or are my statements about z and theta wrong?)
