The equation of the surface in cylindrical coordinates:
${r^{2}-2z^{2}=4r\cosθ-8r\sinθ-12z}$
i) What is the equation in perpendicular coordinates?
ii) Write it name?
My try:
I put these in the original equation:
${x=r\cosθ}$
${y=r\sinθ}$
${z=z}$
and
${r=}$${\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}$
${θ=\arctan(\frac{y}{x})}$
${z=z}$
So,
${x^{2}+y^{2}-2z^{2}=4x-8y-12z}$
${x^{2}-4x+y^{2}+8y-2z^{2}+12z=0}$
${(x-2)^2-4+(y+4)^2-16-2(z-3)^2+18=0}$
${\frac{(x-2)^2+(y+4)^2}{2}+(z-3)^2=1}$
Like a sphere? I'm stuck here
I request your help
You have a mistake in a sign in your last step: $$(x-2)^2+(y+4)^2{\color{red}-}2(z-3)^2=2.$$ So the surface is a hyperboloid of one sheet (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric): $$\frac{(x-2)^2}{(\sqrt{2})^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{(\sqrt{2})^2}-\frac{(z-3)^2}{1^2}=1.$$
