Worksheet Practice Graphs with Cylindrical Coordinates

1.
In each of the following cases, the cylindrical coordinates \((r,\theta,z)\) of a point in space are given. Draw the point \(P\) in three-dimensional space by identifying the angle \(\theta\) and the distance \(r\) in your drawing.
  1. \(\displaystyle (2,\frac{\pi}{3},4)\)
  2. \(\displaystyle (1,\pi,-1)\)
2.
In each of the following cases draw the region of three-dimensional space that is described by the given description in cylindrical coordinates.
  1. \(r=1\) (include a written description as well)
  2. \(\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}\) (include a written description as well)
  3. \(0\leq r \leq 2\text{,}\) \(0\leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}\)
  4. \(0\leq r \leq 2\text{,}\) \(z=4\)
  5. \(0\leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}\text{,}\) \(0\leq z \)
  6. \(2\leq r \leq 3\text{,}\) \(\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \pi \text{,}\) \(0\leq z \leq 1\)
