For each part, first decide which of the three methods sections will most easily enable you to sketch the surface. These are the generalized cylinder method, the surface of revolution method, and the method of slices (traces) for general quadric surfaces. Then apply that method to sketch the surface.

a. x^2 = 4z +8
b. x^2 - 4y^2 – 4z^2 = 16
c. y^2 = x^2 + 2z^2
