Ellipsoids, Spheres, Cones and Hyperboloids are called Central Quadric Surfaces
as they have a Geometrical Center Point across which the Surfaces are Symmetric, i.e Any Plane passing through this Point divides the Surfaces in 2 Equal Halves.
The Implicit Equation for any Central Quadric Surface having its Center at the Origin is given as
On Translating the Center of the Quadric Surface given in equation (1) to a Point (\(x_c,y_c,z_c\)) (which is same as Translating the Equation of the Quadric Surface by (\(x_c,y_c,z_c\))),
the Implicit Equation of the Quadric Surface gets updated as
The equations (2) and (3) above give the Equation of the Central Quadric Surface whose Center is Translated by an Offset \((x_c,y_c,z_c)\) from the Origin.
Now, the equations (4) , (5) and (6) above can be written in form of a Matrix Equation as follows
The Coordinates of Center of the Quadric Surface \((x_c,y_c,z_c)\) can be determined by solving the System of Linear Equations given by the Matrix Equation (8).
