1. Problem Description

We are asked to describe the graphs of the given cylindrical or spherical equations.
Problem 7: r=5r = 5 in cylindrical coordinates.
Problem 8: ρ=5\rho = 5 in spherical coordinates.
Problem 9: ϕ=π/6\phi = \pi/6 in spherical coordinates.
Problem 10: θ=π/6\theta = \pi/6 in cylindrical coordinates.
Problem 11: r=3cosθr = 3\cos\theta in cylindrical coordinates.
Problem 12: r=2sin2θr = 2\sin 2\theta in cylindrical coordinates.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 7: r=5r = 5
In cylindrical coordinates, rr represents the distance from the z-axis. The equation r=5r = 5 represents a cylinder of radius 5 centered on the z-axis.
Problem 8: ρ=5\rho = 5
In spherical coordinates, ρ\rho represents the distance from the origin. The equation ρ=5\rho = 5 represents a sphere of radius 5 centered at the origin.
Problem 9: ϕ=π/6\phi = \pi/6
In spherical coordinates, ϕ\phi is the angle from the positive z-axis. The equation ϕ=π/6\phi = \pi/6 represents a cone opening upwards from the origin with a half-angle of π/6\pi/6 with respect to the positive z-axis.
Problem 10: θ=π/6\theta = \pi/6
In cylindrical coordinates, θ\theta is the angle from the positive x-axis in the xy-plane. The equation θ=π/6\theta = \pi/6 represents a half-plane that extends from the z-axis at an angle of π/6\pi/6 from the positive x-axis.
Problem 11: r=3cosθr = 3\cos\theta
In cylindrical coordinates, we can multiply both sides by rr to get r2=3rcosθr^2 = 3r\cos\theta. We know that r2=x2+y2r^2 = x^2 + y^2 and x=rcosθx = r\cos\theta. So, the equation becomes x2+y2=3xx^2 + y^2 = 3x. Completing the square, we have x23x+(3/2)2+y2=(3/2)2x^2 - 3x + (3/2)^2 + y^2 = (3/2)^2, which simplifies to (x3/2)2+y2=(3/2)2(x - 3/2)^2 + y^2 = (3/2)^2. This is a circle in the xy-plane centered at (3/2,0)(3/2, 0) with a radius of 3/23/2. This extends infinitely along the z-axis forming a cylinder.
Problem 12: r=2sin2θr = 2\sin 2\theta
In cylindrical coordinates, we can use the double angle formula to rewrite the equation as r=4sinθcosθr = 4\sin\theta\cos\theta. Multiplying both sides by r2r^2, we get r3=4rsinθrcosθr^3 = 4r\sin\theta r\cos\theta. Since x=rcosθx = r\cos\theta, y=rsinθy = r\sin\theta, and r2=x2+y2r^2 = x^2 + y^2, we have r=x2+y2r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}. Thus, (x2+y2)3/2=4xy(x^2 + y^2)^{3/2} = 4xy.
This represents a four-leaf rose in the xy-plane.

3. Final Answer

Problem 7: A cylinder of radius 5 centered on the z-axis.
Problem 8: A sphere of radius 5 centered at the origin.
Problem 9: A cone opening upwards from the origin with a half-angle of π/6\pi/6 with respect to the positive z-axis.
Problem 10: A half-plane that extends from the z-axis at an angle of π/6\pi/6 from the positive x-axis.
Problem 11: A cylinder whose cross-section in the xy-plane is a circle centered at (3/2, 0) with radius 3/

2. Problem 12: A four-leaf rose in the xy-plane, given by the equation $(x^2 + y^2)^{3/2} = 4xy$.
