Work Step by Step

Parametric equations: $\left\{\begin{array}{l} x=1\\ y=\cos t\\ z=2\sin t \end{array}\right.$ Build a table of values for t, $0, \pi/4,\pi/2$, ... calculate the coordinates and plot the points. This is an ellipse in the plane x=1. Because $\sin^{2}A+\cos^{2}A=1$, all the points (x,y,z) lie on the curve $y^{2}+\displaystyle \frac{z^{2}}{4}=1\quad $(an ellipse) in the plane x=1.
