  1. 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].

  2. 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. A level curve of a function $f(x,y)$ is the curve of points $(x,y)$ where $f(x,y)$ is some constant value.

  3. 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, \[k = \sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}} \hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in}{x^2} + {y^2} = {k^2}\]

  4. 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.

  5. A level curve can be described as the intersection of the horizontal plane z = k with the surface defined by f. Level curves are also known as contour lines. A vertical cross section (parallel to a coordinate plane) of a surface z = f(x, y) is a two-dimensional curve with either the equation z = f(c, y) or the equation z = f(x, d), where c and ...

  6. 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.

  8. 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.
