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.
One way to collapse the graph of a scalar-valued function of two variables into a two-dimensional plot is through level curves. A level curve of a function $f(x,y)$ is the curve of points $(x,y)$ where $f(x,y)$ is some constant value. A level curve is simply a cross section of the graph of $z=f(x,y)$ taken at a constant value, say $z=c$. A ...
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).
A level set of a function of three variables f(x,y,z) is a surface in three-dimensional space, called a level surface. Level curves. One way to collapse the graph of a scalar-valued function of two variables into a two-dimensional plot is through level curves.
Definition. 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.
a) Sketch all the level curves for $f(x,y)=c $ for $c=0$, $c=4$ and $c=25$ b) Also plot the level set for $f(x,y)=16$. So, I know to find the level curves I have to solve the equation equal to my value of c.

Before the advent of calculus, a curve is usually de ned through level sets: (in the plane) as level sets: f(x; y) = c; (in the space) as intersection of surfaces (intersection of level sets): f(x; y; z) = c1; g(x; y; z) = c2: Example 1. A circle in R2 is represented as. (x ¡ a)2 + (y ¡ b)2 = r2:
