Homework Statement
Suppose that in spherical coordinates the surface S is given by the equation rho * sin(phi)= 2 * cos(theta).
Find an equation for the surface in cylindrical and rectangular coordinates. Describe the surface- what kind of surface is S?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
r= rho * sin (phi)
r^2= (rho * sin(phi)^2
r^2= 4 cos ^2 (theta)
x^2 + y^2= 4 cos^2 (theta)
And now I'm drawing a blank. Can someone please help me on how to continue?- I'm clueless! Thank you!
