Answer

$0\leq \phi\leq \dfrac{\pi}{4}, 0\leq \rho\leq \cos \phi$

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 $\rho=\sqrt {x^2+y^2+z^2}$; $\cos \phi =\dfrac{z}{\rho}$; $\cos \theta=\dfrac{x}{\rho \sin \phi}$ Here, $z=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}$ or, $\rho \cos \phi=\sqrt{(\rho \sin \phi \cos \theta)^2+(\rho \sin \phi \sin \theta)^2}$ or, $\rho \cos \phi =\rho \sin \phi$ or, $ \cos \phi = \sin \phi$ This implies that $\phi=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ and $x^2+y^2+z^2=z \implies \rho=\cos \phi$ Hence, $0\leq \phi\leq \dfrac{\pi}{4}, 0\leq \rho\leq \cos \phi$
