Question

Draw the parameterized surface. (Decide on a reasonable domain for u and v.)

### Parametric Equations for Surfaces

In the study of vector calculus and surface parametrization, we often use parametric equations to describe surfaces in three-dimensional space. Here are three examples of such parametric equations:

1. **First Parametric Equation:**
\[ \mathbf{r}(u, v) = \langle u, v, u^2 + v^2 \rangle \]

   This equation defines a surface where the coordinates \((u, v)\) map to a three-dimensional point. The \(z\)-coordinate is given by the sum of the squares of \(u\) and \(v\).

2. **Second Parametric Equation:**
\[ \mathbf{r}(u, v) = \langle u^2 + v^2, u, v \rangle \]

   In this case, the surface is described such that the \(x\)-coordinate is the sum of the squares of \(u\) and \(v\), while the \(u\) and \(v\) coordinates directly map to the \(y\) and \(z\)-coordinates, respectively.

3. **Third Parametric Equation:**
\[ \mathbf{r}(u, v) = \langle \cos(u), \sin(u), v \rangle \]

   This surface involves trigonometric functions, where the \(x\)- and \(y\)-coordinates are defined by cosine and sine of \(u\), respectively, creating a circular or helical pattern in the \(xy\)-plane, depending on the variation of \(v\)-coordinate.

These parametrizations give insight into how different types of surfaces can be described mathematically in a three-dimensional space, each providing unique geometric properties and visual representations.
