Homework Statement
Find parametric equations for the portion of the cylinder x2 + y2 = 5 that extends between the planes z = 0 and z=1.
Homework Equations
I can't really find any connection but I do have
x=a*sinv*cosu
y=a*sinv*sinu
z=a*cosv
The Attempt at a Solution
I understand that there is a cylinder of radius 5 between z=0 and z=1 however I don't understand how to translate it in terms of u & v. In polar coordinates I know r extends from the origin (r=0) to the cylindrical curve (r=1), while theta is from 0 to 2pi.
Attached is the solution, not sure how to connect the information together
