There are nine distinct types. These are important, so get familiar with them. You will need to know: (a) The intercepts (the points at which the surface intersects the coordinate axes). (b) The traces (the intersections with the coordinate planes). (c) The sections (the intersections with planes in general). (d) The center (some quadrics have a center; some do not). (e) Symmetry. (f) Boundedness, unboundedness. The ellipsoid: centered at the origin and is symmetric about all three coordinate planes. x2 y2 z2 + + = 1 a2 b2 c2 The hyperboloid of one sheet: unbounded surface, centered at the origin and is symmetric about all three coordinate planes. x2 y2 z2 + − = 1 a2 b2 c2 The hyperboloid of two sheets: unbounded surface, The surface intersects the coordinate axes only at the two vertices (0, 0, ± c) x2 y2 z2 z2 x2 y2 + − = −1 or − − = 1 a2 b2 c2 c2 a2 b2 The elliptic cone: intersects the coordinate axes only at the origin. The surface is unbounded. x2 y2 + = z2 a2 b2 The elliptic paraboloid: the surface does not extend below the xy-plane; it is unbounded above. x2 y2 + = z a2 b2 The hyperbolic paraboloid: symmetry about the xz-plane and yz plane. Sections parallel to the xy-plane are hyperbolas; sections parallel to the other coordinate planes are parabolas. x2 y2 − = z a2 b2 The parabolic cylinder: symmetry about the xy-plane x2 = 4cy The elliptic cylinder: symmetry about the xy-plane x2 y2 + = 1 a2 b2 The hyperbolic cylinder: symmetry about the xy-plane x2 y2 − = 1 a2 b2 Examples: Examples: 1.
