Nov 16, 2022 · The level curves of the function \(z = f\left( {x,y} \right)\) are two dimensional curves we get by setting \(z = k\), where \(k\) is any number. So the equations of the level curves are \(f\left( {x,y} \right) = k\).
The level curves are given by $x^2-y^2=c$. For $c=0$, we have $x^2=y^2$; that is, $y=\pm x$, two straight lines through the origin. For $c=1$, the level curve is $x^2-y^2=1$, which is a hyperbola passing vertically through the $x$-axis at the points $(\pm 1,0)$.
Level curves and contour plots are another way of visualizing functions of two variables. If you have seen a topographic map then you have seen a contour plot. Example: To illustrate this we first draw the graph of z = x2 + y2.

Recall that the level curves of a function f(x, y) f (x, y) are the curves given by f(x, y) = f (x, y) = constant. Recall also that the gradient ∇f ∇ f is orthogonal to the level curves of f f.
