Convert to Parametric Equation of surface?
How would I go about converting
[tex] 9x^2+4y^2+z^2 = 640 [/tex]I tried just to solve for each variable but this doesn't seem rightfor example
[tex] \sqrt{\frac{640-z^2-4y^2}{9}}=x [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{\frac{640-z^2-9x^2}{4}}=y [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{\frac{640-4y^2-9x^2}{1}}=z [/tex]
