Equation for 3D graphing of ellipsoid with that has 2 open ends opposite each other

4.5k Views Asked by At

The equation (X^2)/25+(Y^2)/25+(Z^2)/2=1 yields a 3D ellipsoid figure on WolframAlpha. However I am trying to find out how to enter an equation that will give me a form with the ellipsoid open at 2 ends. One way would be to restrict the domain of x such that x is between -3.5 and 3.5 . But I can't figure out the notation for that in the WolframAlpha text box. Any suggestions?

This is the code for Mathematica. It happens to work in Wolfram Alpha also. (It's not generally true that Mathematica code runs in WA.)

ContourPlot3D[x^2/25 + y^2/25 + z^2/2 == 1, {x, -3.5, 3.5}, {y, -5, 5}, {z, -5, 5}]
