Question

Graph the quadric surfaces given by the equations 

$9x^2+16y^2+16z^2=144$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The surface graph is an ellipsoid, as shown below.

Step1: Introduction.

Quadric surfaces are described in two dimensions by quadratic equations. Quadrics include spheres, ellipsoids and cones.

Step2: Given Information.

Consider the following formula:

$9x^2+16y^2+16z^2=144$

The goal is to create a graph of the quadric surface.

Step3: Explanation.

The surface graph is an ellipsoid, as shown below.
