[tex]\displaystyle z = r^2[/tex]Substitute in Spherical Coordinate Conversions:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho \cos \phi = ( \rho \sin \phi )^2[/tex]Simplify:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho \cos \phi = \rho^2 \sin^2 \phi[/tex]Rewrite:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho \cos \phi - \rho^2 \sin^2 \phi = 0[/tex]Simplify:
[tex]\displaystyle \cos \phi - \rho \sin^2 \phi = 0[/tex]Rewrite:
[tex]\displaystyle \rho \sin^2 \phi - \cos \phi = 0[/tex]∴ we have written the rectangular equation into spherical coordinates.---Learn more about spherical coordinates: more about multivariable calculus: : Multivariable CalculusUnit: Triple Integrals Applications
