In this exercise, traces of the surfaces in the planes are conic sections. In each part, find an equation of the trace, and state whether it is an ellipse, a parabola, or a hyperbola. (a) 7x² + y² + z² = 7; y = 1 (b) 9x² + y² + z² = 9; x = 1/3 (c) 9x² - y² - z² = 3; x = 2 (d) 9x² + y² - z² = 16; z = 2 (e) z = 16x² + 4y²; y = 3 (f) z = 16x² - 4y²; z = 2

True or false: In R3 , the graph of x = y2 is a paraboloid.

If the horizontal trace in the plane z = k of the paraboloid z = x^2/5 + y^2/m is the ellipse x^2/4 + y^2/5 = 1, then k = and m = .
