Answer

Elliptical cylinder

Work Step by Step

Given: $r(s,t)=\lt 3 cost, s, sint\gt$ Write the vector equation in its equivalent parametric equations: $x=3 cost $, $y= s $ and $z=sint$ Solving the first parametric equation yields: $\frac{x}{3}= cost $ Therefore, $\frac{x^{2}}{3^{2}}+z^{2}= cos^{2}t +sin^{2}t$ $\frac{x^{2}}{3^{2}}+z^{2}=1$ which represents as a equation of a Elliptical cylinder.
