QUADRIC SURFACES Some techniques for sketching a specialized but important class of surfaces are considered. The categories of the basic quadric surfaces and the relations that describe them are listed here. Ellipsoid : x a 2 2 + y 2 b 2 + z c 2 2 =1 Hyperboloid of One Sheet : x a 2 z Hyperboloid of Two Sheets : c 2 Elliptic Cone : z − x a 2 2 − Elliptic Paraboloid : z − y a 2 b 2 2 − − 2 x a z c 2 2 − 2 =1 2 y 2 b 2 =1 2 b x + 2 y 2 =0 2 2 − Hyperbolic Paraboloid : z + y 2 b x a 2 =0 2 2 − y 2 b 2 =0 Page 1 of 12 2 2 y x .
