Suppose I have a standard 3-dimensional egg-shaped ellipsoid with the following equation: (x^2)/(a^2) + (y^2)/(b^2) + (z^2)/(c^2) = 1 If I rotate the ellipsoid around the y-axis, x-axis, then z-axis I am left with an equation of the form: Ax^2 + By^2 + Cz^2 + Dx + Ey + Fz + Gxy + Hxz + Iyz + J = 0 ,where A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J are constants resulting from rotation matrices. How do I find the max/min values of x and y ?
