Let us now take a look at an ellipsoid defined by the following implicit equation.

Use the implicitplot3d(...) command to plot this type of equation.
![]()
That doesn't look much like an ellipsoid. The reason is that the default number of points (625) plotted is too small. Try a larger one.
![]()
Much better. But notice it took longer as there are substantially more calculations involved.
Let's look at the other surfaces
![]()

![]()
Here we can create an Elliptic Paraboloid two ways. The first sets an expression in z
Or we can implicitly define the Elliptic Paraboloid as we did the other surfaces
(But first we need to clear z)
![]()
Finally we do the Hyperbolic Paraboloid in the same fashion
