Explicit Equation for Quadratic Funnel Surface

67 Views Asked by At

I've been trying to figure out an explicit form for a quadratic funnel surface, but I'm not succeeding. Essentially, I'm wanting an explicit form for the surface that would be created by revolving the following curve around the y-axis: enter image description here

This curve has the formula (for $x<1$): $$y=\sqrt{-\left(x-1\right)^{2}+1}$$

The closest I got was this:

$$y = \max\left(\sqrt{-(|x|-1)^2+1}, \sqrt{-(|z|-1)^2+1} \right)$$

Which gives me:
