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.
Mar 2, 2022 · Let us use the function $f(x,y)=x^3+5 x^2+x y^2-5 y^2$ and check wether it has critical points using level curves. In the first step, let us draw the level curves (blue) and the derivatives $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ and $\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$ (green).
Level curves of the function g(x,y)=√9−x2−y2 g (x y) = 9 − x 2 − y 2, using c=0,1,2 c = 0 1, 2, and 3 3 (c=3 c = 3 corresponds to the origin). A graph of the various level curves of a function is called a contour map.
If the graph of the function $z=f(x,y)$ is cut by the horizontal (or level) plane $z=c$, and if we project this intersection onto the $xy$-plane, then we get a curve that consists of points $(x,y)$ for which $f(x,y)=c$ (Figure 2). Such a curve is called the level curve of height $c$ or the level curve with value $c$ and is denoted by $L(c)$ or ...
Level Curves and Contour Plots. 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.

the gradient vectors (called a gradient vector field) is that we can figure out quite a bit about a 3D surface without the hard work of a 3D plot: f(x,y) 4cos (x)sin(x) 4cos(x)sin(x)cos(y),2 32cos (x)sin(y) 2cos(y)sin(y) The vectors tell you the direction of greatest initial increase on the surface at a given point, and their magnitude
