Hyperboloids



TWO-SHEETED HYPERBOLOIDS
two-sheeted elliptical hyperboloid
\(-\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}+\frac{z^2}{c^2}=1\)

Real plane intersections are:
the ellipses, the circles, the parabolas and the hyperbolas.
hyperboloid of revolution, two-sheeted circular hyperboloid

\(-\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{a^2}+\frac{z^2}{c^2}=1\)

It is obtained by rotating a hyperbola about its transverse axis.
Real plane intersections are:
the ellipses,the circles, the parabolas and the hyperbolas.

ONE-SHEETED HYPERBOLOID
 one-sheeted elliptical hyperboloid

\(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}-\frac{z^2}{c^2}=1\)

A ruled surface with two systems of rulings - there are two lines of the surface through each point of this surface.

Real plane intersections are:
the ellipses, the circles, the parabolas, the hyperbolas and degenerated conics - pairs of two real lines (intersections with the tangent planes).
one-sheeted hyperboloid of revolution

\(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}-\frac{z^2}{c^2}=1\)

A special case of a one-sheeted elliptic hyperboloid  (for \( a=b\)).
It is obtained by rotating a hyperbola about its conjugate axis or by rotating one line about another line when these lines are skew.
The rotated line is a ruling belonging to both systems of rulings of this ruled surface.
