The curve c(t) = (cost, sint, t) lies on which of the following surfaces. enter t or f depending on whether the statement is true or false. (you must enter t or f -- true and false will not 1. a 2. a 3. an 4. a circular cylinder

1. Plane False

2. Sphere False

3. Ellipsoid  False

4. Circular cylinder  True

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following curve

And we can express like this the terms for the curve or each component:

1. Plane False

The general equation for a plane is given by:

a ( x − x 1 ) + b ( y − y 1 ) + c ( z − z 1 ) = 0.

For this case we don't satisfy this since have sinusoidal functions and this equation is never satisfied.

2. Sphere False

The general equation for a sphere is given by:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² + (z - c)² = r²

And for this case if we see our parametric equation again that is not satisfied since we have two cosenoidal functions. And another function z=t

3. Ellipsoid  False

The general equation for an ellipsoid is given by:

x^2/a2 + y^2/b2 + z^2/c2 = 1

And for this case again that's not satisfied since we have

4. Circular cylinder  True

The general equation for a circular cylinder is given by:

And if we replace the equations that we have we got:

from the fundamental trigonometry property.

So then we see that our function satisfy the condition and is the most appropiate option.
