Answer

circular cone with axis as the z-axis

Work Step by Step

Given: $r=\lt s cost, s sint, s\gt$ Write the vector equation in its equivalent parametric equations: $x=s cost $, $y= s sint$ and $z=s$ Solving the first two parametric equations yields: $x^{2}+y^{2}=s^{2}cos^{2}t+s^{2}sin^{2}t$ $x^{2}+y^{2}=s^{2}(cos^{2}t+sin^{2}t)=s^{2}(1)$ $x^{2}+y^{2}=s^{2}$ or $x^{2}+y^{2}=z^{2}$ which represents as a equation of a circular cone with axis as the z-axis.
