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

$$I_{3} = - \frac{1}{4}$$
$$I_{4} = 0$$
$$I{\left(\lambda \right)} = - \lambda^{3} + \lambda^{2} + \frac{\lambda}{4} - \frac{1}{4}$$
$$K_{2} = 0$$
$$K_{3} = 0$$
Because
I3 != 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
$$\lambda^{3} - \lambda^{2} - \frac{\lambda}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = 0$$
$$\lambda_{1} = 1$$
$$\lambda_{2} = \frac{1}{2}$$
$$\lambda_{3} = - \frac{1}{2}$$
then the canonical form of the equation will be
$$\left(\tilde z^{2} \lambda_{3} + \left(\tilde x^{2} \lambda_{1} + \tilde y^{2} \lambda_{2}\right)\right) + \frac{I_{4}}{I_{3}} = 0$$
$$\tilde x^{2} + \frac{\tilde y^{2}}{2} - \frac{\tilde z^{2}}{2} = 0$$
$$- \frac{\tilde z^{2}}{\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}} + \left(\frac{\tilde x^{2}}{1^{2}} + \frac{\tilde y^{2}}{\left(\sqrt{2}\right)^{2}}\right) = 0$$
this equation is fora type cone
- reduced to canonical form
