F(x,y)= z 0
- Recall from Section 15.1 that the curve f(x,y)= z 0, where z 0 is a constant, is a level curve, on which function values are constant.

A graph of the various level curves of a function is called a contour map. Example: Making a Contour Map. Given the function f (x, y)= √8+8x−4y−4x2 −y2 f (x, y) = 8 + 8 x − 4 y − 4 x 2 − y 2, find the level curve corresponding to c= 0 c = 0. Then create a contour map for this function. What are the domain and range of f f? Show Solution. Try It.

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, \[k = \sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}} \hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in} \Rightarrow \hspace{0.25in}\hspace{0.25in}{x^2} + {y^2} = {k^2}\]
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.
Sep 29, 2023 · A level curve of a function \(f\) of two independent variables \(x\) and \(y\) is a curve of the form \(k = f(x,y)\text{,}\) where \(k\) is a constant. A level curve describes the set of inputs that lead to a specific output of the function.
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.
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.
