Answer

This surface is a cylinder.

Work Step by Step

\[ \begin{array}{l} u \cos v=x \\ u^{2}=y \\ u \sin v=z \end{array} \] Adding the squares of equations (1) and (3), we get: \[ x^{2}+z^{2}=u^{2} \cos ^{2} v+u^{2} \sin ^{2} v=u^{2}\left(\cos ^{2} v+\sin ^{2} v\right)=u^{2} \] but $u^{2}=y,$ so \[ x^{2}+z^{2}=y \] This surface is a cylinder.
