Parametric Surfaces

(requires JavaScript)

  1. Identify the surface with the vector equation

    r⁡uv=2⁢sin⁡u⁢i+3⁢cos⁡u⁢j+v⁢k

    where 0≤v≤2 .

  2. Match the equations with the graphs, explain.

    1. r⁡uv=cos⁡vsin⁡vu
    2. r⁡uv=u⁢cos⁡vu⁢sin⁡vu
    3. r⁡uv=u⁢cos⁡vu⁢sin⁡vv
    4. x=u3,y=u⁢sin⁡v,z=u⁢cos⁡v
    5. x=u−sin⁡u⁢cos⁡v ,
      y=1−cos⁡u⁢sin⁡v ,
      z=u .
    6. x=1−u⁢3+cos⁡v⁢cos⁡4⁢π⁢u ,
      y=1−u⁢3+cos⁡v⁢sin⁡4⁢π⁢u ,
      z=3⁢u+1−u⁢sin⁡v .

  3. Find parametric equations for the surface obtained by rotating the curve y=e−x , 0≤x≤3 , about the x-axis and use them to graph the surface.
    x=x,y=e−x⁢cos⁡θ,z=e−x⁢sin⁡θ,0≤x≤3
  4. Match the shown surfaces with their parametrizations. Justify your choices.

    r1⁡uv=sin⁡u⁢cos⁡vsin⁡u⁢sin⁡vcos⁡u

    r2⁡uv=uvu2−v2

    r3⁡uv=u⁢cos⁡vuu⁢sin⁡v

    r4⁡uv=ueu⁢cos⁡veu⁢sin⁡v

    r5⁡uv=u1+u2⁢cos⁡v1+u2⁢sin⁡v

    r6⁡uv=uvu3+v3
