Trouble Figuring out what object this is...

This is the equation they give me:

(y^2/9)+(z^2/25)-x=0 There doing like Ellipsoids and Cones .. things with one and two sheets . I havn't been able to pinpoint what kind of object this is. Any help would be appericated.

Put x on the right hand side of the equation. Notice that for a given value of x, the equation describes an ellipse.

Based on the equation given, it appears that the object being described is a three-dimensional shape known as a hyperboloid. This shape can have either one or two sheets, depending on the values of y and z in the equation. A hyperboloid is a type of quadric surface, which includes shapes like ellipsoids and cones. If you are having trouble visualizing the shape, you can try graphing the equation or looking up images of hyperboloids to get a better understanding.
