1. Find a parametric representation of the following surfaces:


(a) that part of the ellipsoid

(b) We must have 0 x 4. A particular parametrizatrion is

sin , where 0 x 4, 0 2.
(c) We must have x 0, y 0, z 0 and x y. A particular parametrization is
x = r cos , y = r sin , z = r

cos 2, 0 r < , 0 /4.

j + uvk, u = 1, v = 1.

Solution:
(a) r
u

v

v
= 2i 2j + 4k.
An equation of the tangent plane is therefore (x 1) (y 1) + 2(z 1) = 0, or
2z x y = 0.
(b) A particular parametrization is
x = cos , y = sin , z = e

The point (x, y, z) = (1/2,

Thus the tangent plane is x +

, where 0 < b < a,
about the z-axis.
(a) Sketch the surface S.
(b) Find a parametric representation of S.
(c) Find the unit outward normal at every point of S.
Solution:
(a) This surface is a torus. For a sketch see question # 56 on page 1145.
(b) Using the angles , from page 1145 we see that a parametrization is
x = (a + b cos ) cos , y = (a + b cos ) sin , z = b sin
(c) The position vector for a point on the torus is
r = xi + yj + zk = (a + b cos ) cos i + (a + b cos ) sin j + b sin k
3
Therefore
r

= (a + b cos ) sin i + (a + b cos ) cos j


r

= b sin cos i b sin sin j + b cos k


r

= (a + b cos ) (b cos cos i + b sin cos j + b sin k)


r

|r

|
= cos cos i + sin cos j + sin k
Putting = 0, = 0 gives
r

|r

|
= i, the unit outward normal at this point.
Therefore the outward unit normal is n = cos cos i + sin cos j + sin k.
