Find an equation in spherical coordinates for the surface represented by the rectangular equation. Cone: x2 + y2 = z2
Added by Brian P.
Step 1
ρ is the distance from the origin to the point, θ is the angle in the xy-plane (counterclockwise from the positive x-axis), and φ is the angle from the positive z-axis to the point. The conversion from rectangular coordinates (x, y, z) to spherical coordinates Show more…
