Question
Find an equation of the form $\rho=f(\theta, \phi)$ in spherical coordinates for the following surfaces. $$z=2$$
Step 1
In spherical coordinates, the z-coordinate is given by $\rho\cos\phi$, where $\rho$ is the radial distance from the origin and $\phi$ is the angle with the positive z-axis. Show more…
