- Given a function f (x, y) f (x, y) and a number c c in the range of f f, a level curve of a function of two variables for the value c c is defined to be the set of points satisfying the equation f (x, y) =c f (x, y) = c. Returning to the function g(x, y) = √9−x2 −y2 g (x, y) = 9 − x 2 − y 2, we can determine the level curves of this function.

Dec 29, 2020 · Given a function \(z=f(x,y)\), we can draw a "topographical map'' of \(f\) by drawing level curves (or, contour lines). A level curve at \(z=c\) is a curve in the \(x\)-\(y\) plane such that for all points \((x,y)\) on the curve, \(f(x,y) = c\).
Recall that the level curves of a function \(f(x, y)\) are the curves given by \(f(x, y) =\) constant. Recall also that the gradient \(\nabla f\) is orthogonal to the level curves of \(f\)
A level curve is just a 2D plot of the curve f(x,y) = k, for some constant value k. Thus by plotting a series of these we can get a 2D picture of what the three-dimensional surface looks like.
