Answer

a) $\rho =2 \sin \phi \cos \theta$ b)$\rho =\dfrac{1}{\sin \phi( \cos \theta+2\sin \theta)+3 \cos \phi}$

Work Step by Step

Conversion of rectangular to spherical coordinates is as follows: $x=\rho \sin \phi \cos \theta; y=\rho \sin \phi \sin \theta;z=\rho \cos \phi$ and $\rho=\sqrt {x^2+y^2+z^2}$; $\cos \phi =\dfrac{z}{\rho}$; $\cos \theta=\dfrac{x}{\rho \sin \phi}$ a) Here, $x^2-2x+y^2+z^2=0$ or, $\rho^2 -2 \rho \sin \phi \cos \theta=0$ Hence,$\rho =2 \sin \phi \cos \theta$ b) Here, $x+2y+3z=1$ or, $\rho \sin \phi \cos \theta+2\rho \sin \phi \sin \theta+3\rho \cos \phi=1$ or, $\rho[ \sin \phi( \cos \theta+2\sin \theta)+3 \cos \phi] =1$ Hence,$\rho =\dfrac{1}{\sin \phi( \cos \theta+2\sin \theta)+3 \cos \phi}$
