Section 1-13 : Spherical Coordinates

For problems 1 & 2 convert the Cartesian coordinates for the point into Spherical coordinates.

1. ( 3, −4,1)

2. ( −2, −1, −7 )

3. Convert the Cylindrical coordinates for the point ( 2, 0.345, −3) into Spherical coordinates.

4. Convert the following equation written in Cartesian coordinates into an equation in Spherical
coordinates.

x2 + y 2 = 4x + z − 2

For problems 5 & 6 convert the equation written in Spherical coordinates into an equation in Cartesian
coordinates.
