Level set of an indefinite quadratic form

Consider the real symmetric matrix A=(aij)A = (a_{ij}) given by A=(311 102 120)A = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 1 & 1 \ 1 & 0 & 2 \ 1 & 2 & 0 \end{pmatrix}. Consider the set S={x=(x1,x2,x3)∈R3:∑i=13∑j=13aijxixj=1}S = \{x = (x_1, x_2, x_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : \sum_{i=1}^3 \sum_{j=1}^3 a_{ij} x_i x_j = 1\}. Which of the following statements is/are correct?
