[PDF] Cylindrical and Spherical Coordinates

Solution The cylinder consists of the points whose distance from the z-axis is Vx2 + y2 = 3/2 The corresponding equation in cylindrical coordinates is r = 3/2

and z is the directed distance from the xy-plane to P Example: Find an equation in cylindrical coordinates for the ellipsoid 4x2 + 4y2 + z2 = 1 Since r2 = x2 +
