Answer

$\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1$ Elliptical cylinder with $z$ values between $0$ and $2$ inclusive.

Work Step by Step

Given: $r(u,v)=2 sinu i+3cosuj+vk$; $0\leq v\leq 2$ Write the vector equation in its equivalent parametric equations: $x=2 sinu $, $y= 3cosu $ and $z=v$ Solving the first two parametric equations yields: $\frac{x}{2}= sinu $ and $\frac{x}{3}= cosu $ Therefore, $\frac{x^{2}}{2^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{3^{2}}= sin^{2}u+cos^{2}u$ $\frac{x^{2}}{2^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{3^{2}}=1$ which represents an equation of an Elliptical cylinder with $z$ values between $0$ and $2$ inclusive.
