To determine if the statement is true, we need to check if the region $E$ described in spherical coordinates is equivalent to the cylindrical description given.

Region $E$ in Spherical Coordinates

The region $E$ is described by:

1. $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 < 4$: This describes a sphere of radius 2 centered at the origin.
2. $z \geq 1$: This describes a region above the plane $z = 1$.

So, $E$ is the volume inside the sphere of radius 2, and above the plane $z = 1$.

Cylindrical Description Analysis

The cylindrical coordinates are:

• $r$: the radial distance from the z-axis in the xy-plane,
• $\theta$: the angle from the positive x-axis in the xy-plane,
• $z$: the height along the z-axis.

The cylindrical description given is:

1. $0 \leq r \leq 1$
2. $0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi$
3. $1 \leq x \leq \sqrt{4 - r^2}$

Conversion and Comparison

• The bound $0 \leq r \leq 1$ describes a cylinder with radius 1.
• The bound $0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi$ covers the full circular range around the z-axis.
• The bound $1 \leq x \leq \sqrt{4 - r^2}$ is not appropriate for cylindrical coordinates because $x$ should be replaced with $z$ in cylindrical coordinates. Moreover, this condition seems misplaced as it compares $x$ with an expression involving $r$, which doesn't fit the cylindrical coordinate description.

The correct way to describe $E$ in cylindrical coordinates should involve the $z$ coordinate, not $x$. Additionally, $r$ should range from 0 to $\sqrt{4 - z^2}$ because it depends on $z$ for the sphere boundary.

Conclusion

The provided cylindrical description is incorrect. It should use $z$ instead of $x$ and include proper bounds on $r$ and $z$ to match the sphere and plane conditions.

The statement is false.
