Plane Cylinder
1. **State the problem:** Find the part of the plane $z = x + 3$ that lies inside the cylinder defined by $x^2 + y^2 = 1$, and verify the point $P = (1, 0, 4)$ lies on this surface.
2. **Understand the surfaces:**
- The plane is given by the equation $$z = x + 3$$.
- The cylinder is given by $$x^2 + y^2 = 1$$, which is a circular cylinder of radius 1 centered on the $z$-axis.
3. **Find the region of the plane inside the cylinder:**
- The cylinder restricts $x$ and $y$ such that $$x^2 + y^2 \leq 1$$.
- On the plane, $z$ depends only on $x$, so the part of the plane inside the cylinder is all points $(x,y,z)$ where $$x^2 + y^2 \leq 1$$ and $$z = x + 3$$.
4. **Check the point $P = (1, 0, 4)$:**
- Check if $P$ lies on the cylinder: $$1^2 + 0^2 = 1 \leq 1$$, so yes.
- Check if $P$ lies on the plane: $$z = x + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4$$, which matches $z$ coordinate of $P$.
- Therefore, $P$ lies on the part of the plane inside the cylinder.
5. **Summary:**
- The part of the plane inside the cylinder is the set of points $$\{(x,y,z) \mid x^2 + y^2 \leq 1, z = x + 3\}$$.
- The point $P = (1,0,4)$ lies on this surface.
This describes the surface and confirms the point's location.
