Answer

Their intersection is the given parametric curve, which wraps around the cylinder and follows the parabola \(z=x^2\). \[ z=x^2 \quad Blue\\ x^2+y^2=1 \quad Red \]

Work Step by Step

We have: \( x=\sin t, \quad y=\cos t, \quad z=\sin^2 t \), and: \( z=x^2, \quad x^2+y^2=1 \). Lets start by manipulating \(x\) and \(y\) to verify \(x^2+y^2=1\): \[ x^2+y^2=(\sin t)^2+(\cos t)^2=\sin^2t+\cos^2t \] Since \(\sin^2t+\cos^2t=1\), we have shown that: \(x^2+y^2=1\) Now, let's manipulate \(x\) to verify \(z=x^2\): \[ x=\sin t \implies x^2=(\sin t)^2\] Since \(z=\sin^2t\), it follows that: \[ z=x^2\]
