Answer

Elliptic paraboloid, opening downward (along z) with vertex at (0,0,9).

Work Step by Step

Trace in x=0: parabola, vertex at (0,0,9), opens down. Trace in y=0: parabola, vertex at (0,0,9), opens down. Traces when z is above 9: none. Traces for z below 9: ellipses, $x^{2}+9y^{2}=k^{2}.$ Graph: Elliptic paraboloid, opening downward (along z) with vertex at (0,0,9).
