If [latex]c=3[/latex], then the circle has radius [latex]0[/latex], so it consists solely of the origin. Figure 2 is a graph of the level curves of this function corresponding to [latex]c=0,\ 1,\ 2[/latex], and [latex]3[/latex]. Note that in the previous derivation it may be possible that we introduced extra solutions by squaring both sides.
From the definition of a level curve above, we see that a level curve is simply a curve of intersection between any plane parallel to the $xy$-axis and the surface ...
Level Curves and Contour Plots Level curves and contour plots are another way of visualizing functions of two variables. If you have seen a topographic map then you have seen a contour plot. Example: To illustrate this we first draw the graph of z = x2 + y2. On this graph we draw contours, which are curves at a fixed height z = constant.
Example: When we say \the curve x 2+ y = 1," we really mean: \The level set of the function F(x;y) = x 2+y2 at height 1." That is, we mean the set f(x;y) 2R2 jx +y2 = 1g. Note: Every graph is a level set (why?). But not every level set is a graph. Graphs must pass the vertical line test. (Level sets may or may not.) Surfaces in R3: Graphs vs ...

level curve is the graph of x2+2y2=1. In the level curve plot of f(x,y) shown below, the smallest ellipse in the center is when c=−1. Working outward, the level curves are for c=−2,−3,…,−10. The below graph illustrates the relationship between the level curves and the graph of the function. The key point is that a level curve f(x,y)=c ...
Level Curves: Def: If f is a function of two variables with domain D, then the graph of f is {(x,y,z) ∈ R3 | z = f(x,y) } for (x,y) ∈ D. Def: The level curves of a function f(x,y)are the curves in the plane with equations f(x,y)= kwhere is a constant in the range of f. The contour curves are the corresponding curves on the surface, the ...
