2*x*y - 4*y*z = 0
Invariants method
Given equation of the surface of 2-order:
$$2 x y - 4 y z = 0$$
This equation looks like:
$$a_{11} x^{2} + 2 a_{12} x y + 2 a_{13} x z + 2 a_{14} x + a_{22} y^{2} + 2 a_{23} y z + 2 a_{24} y + a_{33} z^{2} + 2 a_{34} z + a_{44} = 0$$
where
$$a_{11} = 0$$
$$a_{12} = 1$$
$$a_{13} = 0$$
$$a_{14} = 0$$
$$a_{22} = 0$$
$$a_{23} = -2$$
$$a_{24} = 0$$
$$a_{33} = 0$$
$$a_{34} = 0$$
$$a_{44} = 0$$
The invariants of the equation when converting coordinates are determinants:
$$I_{1} = a_{11} + a_{22} + a_{33}$$

$$I{\left(\lambda \right)} = \left|\begin{matrix}a_{11} - \lambda & a_{12} & a_{13}\\a_{12} & a_{22} - \lambda & a_{23}\\a_{13} & a_{23} & a_{33} - \lambda\end{matrix}\right|$$

$$I_{1} = 0$$
$$I_{2} = -5$$
$$I_{3} = 0$$
$$I_{4} = 0$$
$$I{\left(\lambda \right)} = - \lambda^{3} + 5 \lambda$$
$$K_{2} = 0$$
$$K_{3} = 0$$
Because
$$I_{3} = 0 \wedge I_{4} = 0 \wedge I_{2} \neq 0$$
then by type of surface:
you need to
Make the characteristic equation for the surface:
$$- I_{1} \lambda^{2} + I_{2} \lambda - I_{3} + \lambda^{3} = 0$$
or
$$\lambda^{3} - 5 \lambda = 0$$
$$\lambda_{1} = - \sqrt{5}$$
$$\lambda_{2} = \sqrt{5}$$
$$\lambda_{3} = 0$$
then the canonical form of the equation will be
$$\left(\tilde x^{2} \lambda_{1} + \tilde y^{2} \lambda_{2}\right) + \frac{K_{3}}{I_{2}} = 0$$
$$- \sqrt{5} \tilde x^{2} + \sqrt{5} \tilde y^{2} = 0$$
$$\frac{\tilde x^{2}}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5}\right)^{2}} - \frac{\tilde y^{2}}{\left(\frac{5^{\frac{3}{4}}}{5}\right)^{2}} = 0$$
this equation is fora type two intersecting planes
