From Wolfram Mathworld[1], we have the following relations for the unit vectors in a Spherical coordinate system:

𝐫^=sinθcosϕ𝐱^+sinθsinϕ𝐲^+cosθ𝐳^θ^=cosθcosϕ𝐱^+cosθsinϕ𝐲^sinθ𝐳^ϕ^=sinϕ𝐱^+cosϕ𝐲^

We first write this as a matrix equation:

(𝐫^θ^ϕ^)=(sinθcosϕsinθsinϕcosθcosθcosϕcosθsinϕsinθsinϕcosϕ0)(𝐱^𝐲^𝐳^)

We can then find the inverse of the matrix to make 𝐱^,𝐲^,𝐳^ the subjects.

(𝐱^𝐲^𝐳^)=(sinθcosϕcosθcosϕsinϕsinθsinϕcosθsinϕcosϕcosθsinθ0)(𝐫^θ^ϕ^)

Which was what we set out to show.
