Answer

$y^{2}+z^{2}= x$ Circular Paraboloid (axis is x-axis)

Work Step by Step

Given: $r(u,v)=u^{2}i+ucosvj+usinvk$ Write the vector equation in its equivalent parametric equations: $x=u^{2} $, $y= ucosv $ and $z=usinv$ Solving the second and third parametric equation yields: $y^{2}+z^{2}= u^{2} cos^{2}v + u^{2}sin^{2}v$ $y^{2}+z^{2}= u^{2} (1)$ $y^{2}+z^{2}= u^{2}$ This implies, $y^{2}+z^{2}= x$ which represents as a equation of a Paraboloid (axis is x-axis).
