- Given a function f(x,y), the set f(x,y) = c = const is called a contour curve or level curve of f. For example, for f(x,y) = 4x2 + 3y2 the level curves f = c are ellipses if c > 0. Level curves allow to visualize functions of two variables f(x,y).

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.
Nov 16, 2022 · In the case of our example this is, \[k = \sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}} \hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in}{x^2} + {y^2} = {k^2}\] where \(k\) is any number. So, in this case, the level curves are circles of radius \(k\) with center at the origin. We can graph these in one of two ways.
Dec 29, 2020 · A level curve at \(z=c\) is a curve in the \(x\)-\(y\) plane such that for all points \((x,y)\) on the curve, \(f(x,y) = c\). When drawing level curves, it is important that the \(c\) values are spaced equally apart as that gives the best insight to how quickly the "elevation'' is changing. Examples will help one understand this concept.
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 ...
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 $(\pm 1,0)$.
Example 1. Let $f(x,y) = x^2-y^2$. We will study the level curves $c=x^2-y^2$. First, look at the case $c=0$. The level curve equation $x^2-y^2=0$ factors to $(x-y)(x+y)=0$. This equation is satisfied if either $y=x$ or $y=-x$. Both these are equations for lines, so the level curve for $c=0$ is two lines.
Jan 28, 2022 · Another good way to visualize the behaviour of a function \(f(x,y)\) is to sketch what are called its level curves. By definition, a level curve of \(f(x,y)\) is a curve whose equation is \(f(x,y)=C\text{,}\) for some constant \(C\text{.}\) It is the set of points in the \(xy\)-plane where \(f\) takes the value \(C\text{.}\)
