  3. If you want to use spherical coordinates, you need to parameterize r as a function of θ and ϕ. Plug into the equation for an ellipsoid and get. r = 1 √((cos(ϕ) / a)2 + (sin(ϕ) / b)2)sin(θ)2 + (cos(θ) / c)2) Given an angle pair (θ, ϕ) the above equation will give you the distance from the center of the ellipsoid to a point on the ...

    Modified 3 years, 9 months ago. Viewed 53k times. 2. I usually use the following parametric equation to find the surface area of a regular cone z = x2 +y2− −−−−−√ z = x 2 + y 2: x = r cos θ x = r cos θ. y = r sin θ y = r sin θ. z = r z = r. And make 0 ≤ r ≤ 2π 0 ≤ r ≤ 2 π, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2 π. I've now ...

  10. Parametric Equation of a Circle in 3D Space?

    math.stackexchange.com/questions/73237

    What you can use to derive the parametric equations for your circle is the Rodrigues rotation formula, which is a rotation matrix used for rotating by an angle φ about an arbitrary axis n^ = nx ny nz . Letting. W =⎛⎝⎜ 0 nz −ny −nz 0 nx ny −nx 0 ⎞⎠⎟. the Rodrigues rotation matrix is. R(φ) =I + sin φW + 2sin2 φ 2 W2.

  11. The method used in your second link seems appropriate—the direction vector of the tangent line at any point on $\langle x(t),y(t),z(t)\rangle=\langle\cos t,\sin t,t\rangle$ is $\langle x'(t),y'(t),z'(t)\rangle=\cdots$ (no partial derivatives needed) and you know a point on the line, so you can write a parametric equation for the tangent line.
