how do i graph z=1-y^2

or x=y^2+4z^2

or 36x^2+y^2+36z^2=36

or pretty much anything with x,y,z

on the ti nspire cx cas

ok i figured some things out. but i can't graph an ellipsoid. like completely. the only way i know how to do it is to solve the equation for z=... and then i have do the positive and negative of the rest of the equation (because its under sqrt) but i still can't get the full thing. what i did is a circle but as an example. (z^2+y^2+x^2=1).

Maybe you could get a tattoo for any relevant graphs on your arm? They can't boot you for having a tattoo during the test...
