Is there an easy way of how to graph a 3D function. I tried doing research but none helped. Can anyone show me how to graph a 3D function? Here are the given: $z=x^2$, $x=0, x=2$ and $y=0, y=4$. Any answer and suggestion will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for those who coukd help and gove some tips.
It will look like this:
Plot3D[x^2,{x,0,2},{y,0,4}]
But how can I graph it in real life?
If you can graph a parabola $z=x^2$, show prismatic lines of extrusion as a cylinder to form a long cylindrical surface along $y-$ direction and out of which truncate the long cylinder so formed between limits ( or cutting plane levels) $ ( y=0, y=4) $ then you are done.
