Answer

Hyperboloid of one sheet. See image: .

Work Step by Step

Rewriting, we get: $\displaystyle \frac{x^{2}}{1^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{1^{2}}-\frac{z^{2}}{1^{2}}=1\qquad$ which is of the form of a hyperboloid of one sheet (compare to Table 11.1 and interchange x and z). It opens along the x-axis. In planes parallel to the yz plane ($x=k)$, the cross sections are circles. At $x=0$, the radius is 1; at $x=\pm 2$, the radius is $\sqrt{5}$ (use this for sketching). The cross-sections with planes parallel to xy and xz are hyperbolas.
