Sec.11.6 Cylinders and Quadric Surfaces
Sketches: To sketch a surface it is useful to find the traces of cross-sections where the planes passing
through the surface are parallel to the coordinated planes.
A cylinder is a surface that consist of all lines (rulings) parallel to a given line and passing through a
given plane curve (generating curve). If one of the variables x y, or z is missing from the equation of a
surface, then the surface is a cylinder.
EX1 Sketch the 3D graph of : x2 + z = 1
A quadric surface is the graph of a second degree equation in 3 variables say x, y, and z. Quadratic
surfaces are the 3D counter part of conic sections in 2D.

If a = b = c > 0, we have a sphere.

Elliptic paraboloid
For the first formula, horizontal traces are ellipses; vertical traces are parabolas.
The variable raised to the first power indicates the axis. Similar for other two
formulas.

For the first formula, horizontal traces are ellipses; vertical traces in the planes
x = k and y = k are hyperbolas if k ≠ 0, but are pairs of lines if k = 0. Similar
for other two formulas. The axis of symmetry goes with the term on the left of
the equals in the formulas given.

For the first formula, horizontal traces in z = k are ellipses if k > c or k < -c;
vertical traces are Hyperbolas. The two minus signs indicate two sheets.
Similar for other two formulas. The axis of symmetry goes with the positive
coefficient.
