A graph of the various level curves of a function is called a contour map. Example: Making a Contour Map Given the function [latex]f\,(x,\ y)=\sqrt{8+8x-4y-4x^{2}-y^{2}}[/latex], find the level curve corresponding to [latex]c=0[/latex].

Nov 16, 2022 · The level curves (or contour curves) for this surface are given by the equation are found by substituting \(z = k\). In the case of our example this is, \[k = \sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}} \hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in}{x^2} + {y^2} = {k^2}\]
A contour map is a plot in the wry-plane that shows the level curves f (x, y) for equally spaced values of c. The interval m between the values is called the contour interval. When you move from one level curve to next, the value of f (x, y) (and hence the height of the graph) changes by ±m.
The level curve with value $c$ is described by \[z=\frac{1}{2}\sin2\theta=c.\] Because $-1\leq \sin 2\theta \leq 1$, there is no level curve if $|c|>0.5$. For $|c|\leq 0.5$, the level curve with value $c$ is a ray with angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis such that $\sin 2\theta=2c$. Solving for $\theta$, * \begin{align*} 2\theta=\begin{cases}

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.
