1. The problem is to identify the geometric objects represented by the given equations and describe their orientation relative to the coordinate axes.
2. (a) Equation: $z = -1$
- This represents a plane parallel to the $xy$-plane, located at $z = -1$.
- It is oriented horizontally, one unit below the $xy$-plane.
3. (b) Equations: $y = -1$, $z = 2$
- These represent two planes intersecting along a line parallel to the $x$-axis.
- The line of intersection is at $y = -1$, $z = 2$, extending along $x$.
4. (c) Equation: $x = 2$, with $-2 \leq y \leq 2$, $-1 \leq z \leq 3$
- This is a plane parallel to the $yz$-plane, located at $x = 2$.
- The region is bounded in $y$ and $z$ as given.
5. (d) Equation: $x^2 + y^2 = 9$
- This is a cylinder with radius 3, axis along the $z$-axis.
- It extends infinitely in $z$ direction.
6. (e) Equations: $x^2 + y^2 = 4$, $z = y$
- This is a circular cylinder of radius 2 oriented along $z$ with the height $z$ equal to $y$.
- The curve is a helix-like line on the cylinder.
7. (f) Equations: $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 16$, $x = 0$
- This is a sphere of radius 4 centered at origin.
- The condition $x=0$ restricts to the $yz$-plane slice of the sphere, a circle of radius 4.
8. (g) Inequality: $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 \leq 9$
- This represents a solid sphere of radius 3 centered at the origin.
9. (h) Inequalities: $x^2 + y^2 \leq 4$, $0 \leq z \leq 3$
- This is a solid cylinder of radius 2 along the $z$-axis, bounded between $z=0$ and $z=3$.
10. (i) Equation: $z = y^2$
- This is a parabolic cylinder opening upward along the $z$-axis.
- It extends infinitely in the $x$-direction.
