The surface S formed by the point P(x,y,z) such that the distance from P to the point A(1.0,-1) is equal to 1/3 of the distance from P to the plane π : z+3=0, is a quadratic. (a) Determine your center (or vertex) (___, ____, ____) (b) 12 being the coefficient of the term in z, what is the coefficient of the term in x of the general equation of this quadratic? (c) This quadratic represents which surface?
