The parametric equations in these exercises represent a quadric surface for positive values of a, b, and c. Identify the type of surface by eliminating the parameters u and v. Check your conclusion by choosing specific values for the constants and generating the surface with a graphing utility.

- identity the surface defined by the equation and match it to the appropriate grapharrow_forwardProject: S is a surface in R° with equation x² + y² – z² = 1. The point P (2,1,2) lies on this hyperboloid. It turns out there are exactly 2 straight lines L, and L2 which pass through the point P and lie entirely inside the surface S. Your job: Find the parametric equations of these 2 lines and then display the surface S together with the lines L1 and L2 using computer graphics software. Methods: Theory: For finding the equations, I suggest this approach. (You can use a different approach if you know a better one.) The two lines can be found if you know direction vectors for them. To get the direction vector v = (a, b, c)for L1 or L2 write down the parametric equations of a line with direction vector v and passing through P. The condition that the line lies on S gives an equation involving t, a, b and c. Solve this equation to find two solutions for a,b,c.arrow_forwardDescribe the surface whose equation is 2x2 + 2y? +2z? – 3x 9y + 5z - 2 = 0. NOTE: Enter the exact answers.
