For Mathematica Lab 1, use PolarPlot for question 1. Sample use:

<< Graphics`Graphics`

PolarPlot[{2, 2 - Cos[3t]Sin[t]}, {t, 0, 2Pi}, AxesLabel -> {X, Y}]

For question 2, use ParametricPlot3D. Sample uses:

ParametricPlot3D[{t, t^2, Exp[-t]}, {t, -3, 2}, AxesLabel -> {X, Y, Z},
AxesStyle -> {RGBColor[1, 0, 0], Thickness[0.02]},
AxesEdge -> {{-1, -1}, {-1, -1}, {-1, -1}},
ViewPoint -> {3, -2, 1},
PlotRange -> {-1, 5}]

ParametricPlot3D[{{x, y, 1 - x - y}, {x, y, 1 + x + y}}, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1,
1}, AxesLabel -> {X, Y, Z},
AxesStyle -> {RGBColor[1, 0, 0], Thickness[0.02]},
AxesEdge -> {{-1, -1}, {-1, -1}, {-1, -1}},
ViewPoint -> {2, -2, 1}]

There are many options you can use with Plot3D and ParametricPlot3D. In the picture below, the commands AxesLabel gives each axis a name; the command AxesStyle gives a different color to each axis, AxesEdge determines which edge of the box surrounding the figure will be the axis, and ViewPoint determines the angle of the viewer.

Plot3D[x^2 + y^2, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, AxesLabel -> {X, Y, Z},
AxesStyle -> {{RGBColor[1, 0, 0], Thickness[0.02]}, {RGBColor[0, 1, 0],
Thickness[0.02]}, {RGBColor[0, 0, 1], Thickness[0.02]}},
AxesEdge -> {{-1, -1}, {-1, -1}, {-1, -1}},
ViewPoint -> {1, -6, 1}]



Plot3D[Sin[Pi x y], {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, AxesLabel -> {X, Y, Z},
AxesStyle -> {{RGBColor[1, 0, 0], Thickness[0.02]}, {RGBColor[0, 1, 0],
Thickness[0.02]}, {RGBColor[0, 0, 1], Thickness[0.02]}},
AxesEdge -> {{-1, -1}, {-1, -1}, {-1, -1}},
ViewPoint -> {1, -1, 0}]
