    The document defines and describes ellipsoids. An ellipsoid is a closed surface where any cross-section is an ellipse or circle. It is symmetrical around three perpendicular axes that intersect at the center. The standard equation for an ellipsoid is x2/a2 + y2/b2 + z2/c2 = 1, where a, b, and c are the lengths of the semi-axes. Special cases include a sphere if a = b = c, and a spheroid if two axes are equal. Examples are given of sketching ellipsoids from their equations.

    INTRODUCTION

    An ellipsoid is a shape like a sphere , but it may be longer


    in one or more directions. It is the 3 dimensional analogue
    of an ellipse.
    Isaac Newton predicted the Earth’s rotation , its shape
    should be an ellipsoid rather than spherical , and careful
    measurements confirmed his prediction.
    DEFINITION OF ELLIPSOID
    An Ellipsoid is a closed
    surface of which all
    plane cross-section are
    either ellipses or circles.
    An ellipsoid is
    symmetrical about three
    mutually perpendicular
    axes that intersect at the
    centre.
    Standard Equation of Ellipsoid:
    The ellipsoid is defined in Cartesian coordinates as :
    x2/a2 + y2/b2 + z2/c2 = 1
    where a ,b , c are the length of semi axes and three pairwise
    perpendicular axes of symmetry which intersect at a center of
    symmetry, called the center of an ellipsoid.
    CHARACTERISTICS OF AN
    ELLIPSOID

    1) All three squared terms(degree two)


    are present.
    2) All three squared terms(degree two) are
    positive when the equation is equal to one.
    3)All three traces are ellipses.
    Special Cases
    1. If a = b = c, then the
    surface is sphere.
    Example: Football.

    2. If two axes are equal,


    say a = b and different
    from the third, c, then
    the ellipsoid is a
    spheroid.
    Example: The earth.
    Example
    Sketch the ellipsoid and show the traces where appropriate

    x2/16+y2/25+z2/4 = 1
    The x-intercepts can be obtained by setting y= 0 and z= 0 in the
    equation. This yields x = ±4. Similarly, the y – intercepts are
    y = ±5 , and z-intercepts are z = ±2, Sketching the elliptical
    traces in the coordinate plans yields the graph in the figure.

    Sketch the ellipsoid

    solution:
    The x-intercepts can be obtained by setting
    y=0 and z=0 in the equation .This gives
    x= +2 and x = -2 Similarly , the y intercepts
    are y = +4 and y= -4 and z-intercepts are
    z=+3 and z=-3.Sketching the ellipitical traces
    in the coordinate plans gives the graph.

    CONCLUSION
    In this discussion we have learned about
    the defination and equation of an ellipsoid
    and how can we determine an ellipsoid
    from the equation of quadratic surface.
    And ellipsoid are commonly used as
    surrogates for geoids so as to simplify the
    mathematics involved in relating a
    coordinate system grid with a model of
    the Earth’s shape.
