### Graphing and Understanding Surfaces

#### Objective:
Graph the surface defined by the equation 
\[ 1 = y^2 + z^2 - \frac{x^2}{4} \]
by first sketching at least three cross-sections in each of the \(xy\) and \(yz\) planes.

#### Instructions:
1. **Identify and Define the Cross Sections:**
   - In the \(xy\)-plane, consider \(z\) at constant values and graph the resulting curves.
   - In the \(yz\)-plane, consider \(x\) at constant values and graph the resulting curves.

2. **Analyze Cross Sections in the \(yz\)-Plane:**
   - When \(x = 0\), the surface simplifies to \(1 = y^2 + z^2\), which represents a circle of radius 1.
   - When \(x = \pm 2\), the surface simplifies to \(\frac{x^2}{4} = 1\), and thus \(y^2 + z^2 = 1 - \frac{x^2}{4} = 0\).

3. **Analyze Cross Sections in the \(xy\)-Plane:**
   - When \(z = 0\), the surface simplifies to \(1 = y^2 - \frac{x^2}{4}\), representing hyperbolas.
   - For different \(z\)-values, adjust the magnitude of \(\frac{z^2}{4}\) and therefore modify the resulting hyperbolas.

#### Detailed Steps:
1. **Step-by-Step Cross Sections in \(xy\)-Plane:**
   - Set \(z = 0\): The equation becomes \(1 = y^2 - \frac{x^2}{4}\). Simplify and graph the hyperbola.
   - Set \(z = 0.5\): The equation becomes \(1 = y^2 + 0.25 - \frac{x^2}{4}\). Simplify and graph the hyperbola.
   - Set \(z = 1\): The equation becomes \(1 = y^2 + 1 - \frac{x^2}{4}\). Simplify and graph the new hyperbola.

2. **Step-by-Step Cross Sections in the \(yz\)-Plane:**
   - Set \(x = 0\): The equation becomes \(1 = y^2 + z^
