Activity 9.7.4 .
For each equation below, use the process in
Key Idea 9.7.8 to determine the shape of the quadric surface defined by the equation and identify the graph of the quadric surface in
Figure 9.7.9 .
(a)
\(\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{y^2}{9}-\frac{z^2}{1}=1\)
(b)
\(\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{4}+\frac{y^2}{9}+\frac{z^2}{1}=1\)
(c)
\(\displaystyle\frac{x^2}{4}-\frac{y^2}{9}-\frac{z}{1}=0\)
