Answer

a. see image b. see image c. see image

Work Step by Step

a. In the xy plane ($\mathbb{R}^{2}$), $y=e^{x}$ and contains points $(x,e^{x})$. Thus, the graph is an exponential function (see image). b. We can say for case (a), that the points contained are $(x,e^{x},0)$ In $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ the points contained are $(x,e^{x},z)$, where z can be any value. The surface is obtained by translating the graph from the xy-plane along the z-axis (see image). c. This surface contains points $(x,y,e^{y})$, where x can be any value. It is obtained by translating the graph of the exponential function $z=e^{y}$ (which is in the plane where x=0), along the x-axis (see image).
