  1. You can infer all sorts of data from level curves, depending on your function. The spacing between level curves is a good way to estimate gradients: level curves that are close together represent areas of steeper descent/ascent.

  2. The level curve corresponding to [latex]c=2[/latex] is described by the equation [latex]\sqrt{9-x^{2}-y^{2}}=2[/latex]. To simplify, square both sides of this equation: [latex]9-x^{2}-y^{2}=4[/latex]. Now, multiply both sides of the equation by [latex]-1[/latex] and add [latex]9[/latex] to each side: [latex]x^{2}+y^{2}=5[/latex].

  5. level curves. 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. In the following, we demonstrate this.

  6. 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. On this graph we draw contours, which are curves at a fixed height z = constant.

  8. 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 $(\pm 1,0)$. For $c=2$, the level curve is $\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2-\left(\frac{y}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2=1$, which is a hyperbola passing vertically through the $x$-axis at the points $(\pm \sqrt{2},0)$.
