Answer

The inequalities in cylindrical coordinates: $ - \sqrt 3 \le z \le \sqrt 3 $ ${\ \ }$ and ${\ \ }$ $1 \le r \le \sqrt {4 - {z^2}} $.

Work Step by Step

In cylindrical coordinates. 1. the entire apple: The apple is modeled by the equation: ${x^2} + {y^2} + {z^2} \le 4$. This is a ball of radius $2$. Since ${r^2} = {x^2} + {y^2}$, converting to cylindrical coordinates we get ${r^2} + {z^2} \le 4$. 2. the core: The core of the apple is a vertical cylinder of radius $1$. So, $r \le 1$. 3. The apple without the core: From point 1 and point 2, we get ${r^2} + {z^2} \le 4$ and $r \ge 1$ (excluding the core) $r \le \sqrt {4 - {z^2}} $ ${\ \ }$ and ${\ \ }$ $r \ge 1$ This is equivalent to $1 \le r \le \sqrt {4 - {z^2}} $. Notice that the inequality implicitly implies that $4 - {z^2} \ge 1$. So, ${z^2} \le 3$ ${\ \ }$ or ${\ \ }$ $ - \sqrt 3 \le z \le \sqrt 3 $ Therefore, the inequalities in cylindrical coordinates: $ - \sqrt 3 \le z \le \sqrt 3 $ ${\ \ }$ and ${\ \ }$ $1 \le r \le \sqrt {4 - {z^2}} $.
