\item[(b)] $\ds R^2 + z^2 = 9 \Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1$
gives a sphere.

${}$

${}$


\item[(c)] $\ds R=z\tan \alpha$ where $\alpha$ is a constant

\end{array}$
\end{center}

${}$

${}$



\item[(d)] $\begin{array}{rcl} \ds R\sin \phi = 1, & & z=0 \\ y=1 & & z = 0
\end{array}$ gives a line.

\end{description}

\item[(ii)]
${}$
\begin{description}
\item[(a)] $\ds r \cos \theta = 1 \Rightarrow z = 1$ gives a plane

${}$

${}$


\item[(b)] $\ds \sin \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \Rightarrow \theta =$
constant.  Gives a double cone.

${}$

${}$


\item[(c)] $\ds \theta = \frac{\pi}{2}, \, r = \cos \phi = 0$
Gives the y axis.

${}$

${}$

\item[(d)] $\ds \theta = \frac{\pi}{4}, \, r = \cos \theta = 1$

circle centre is at $(0,0,1)$ and  the radius is 1 in the plane
$z=1$
