The solid bounded by the surface may be conceived as made up of ellipses strung on the x-axis. 5. The Elliptic Paraboloid,. When z is —, x and y cannot both be real, which means that thesurface has no real points below the xy-plane. It is readily foundthat the traces in the xy-plsme and xz-p\sme are parabolas turnedupward, while the trace in the xy-ipl&ne is the origin. The planesz = k cut the surface in ellipses which increase in size as k in-creases. The surface may be conceived as built up of ellipsesstrung on the 2-axis. Let the student complete the discussionand draw the figure of this surface. 6. The Elliptic Wedge, x2z2 + a2y2 = the equation in the form ay = ±x Vb2 — z2, it appears that the surface lies entirely between the planes z = — b,z = +6. When z = d=6, y = 0, and therefore the trace in thezz-plane consists of two parallel lines z=—b, z = -\-b. Everyplane parallel to the xy-plane, z = ±k, cuts the surface in a pair 276 GEOMETRY OF THREE DIMENSIONS 186 of right lines, ay = zLx Vb2 — k2, the xz-plane bisecting the anglebetween them. When x = dbk, k2z2 + a2y2 = b2k2
