Question
Convert the point from cylindrical coordinates to spherical coordinates. $(3,-\pi / 4,0)$
Step 1
We can use the conversion formula $\rho = \sqrt{r^2 + z^2}$, where $r$ and $z$ are the cylindrical coordinates. In this case, $r = 3$ and $z = 0$. So, we have $\rho = \sqrt{3^2 + 0^2} = 3$. Show more…
