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

Because
$$I_{3} = 0 \wedge I_{2} \neq 0 \wedge I_{4} \neq 0$$
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
$$\lambda^{3} - 3 \lambda^{2} + 2 \lambda = 0$$
$$\lambda_{1} = 2$$
$$\lambda_{2} = 1$$
$$\lambda_{3} = 0$$
then the canonical form of the equation will be
$$\tilde z 2 \sqrt{\frac{\left(-1\right) I_{4}}{I_{2}}} + \left(\tilde x^{2} \lambda_{1} + \tilde y^{2} \lambda_{2}\right) = 0$$
and
$$- \tilde z 2 \sqrt{\frac{\left(-1\right) I_{4}}{I_{2}}} + \left(\tilde x^{2} \lambda_{1} + \tilde y^{2} \lambda_{2}\right) = 0$$
$$2 \tilde x^{2} + \tilde y^{2} + \tilde z = 0$$
and
$$2 \tilde x^{2} + \tilde y^{2} - \tilde z = 0$$

this equation is fora type elliptical paraboloid
- reduced to canonical form
