Document Summary
If f (x, y) = c, then dy dx. If f (x, y, z) = c, then. Fz: (12 points) three level curve plots are shown below. The level curves 9 x2 y2 = c can be rewritten as x2 + y2 = 9 c. these are circles of radius 9 c centered at the origin (assuming 9 c > 0). The level curves p3x2 + y2 = c can be rewritten as y2 c2 = 1 (when c 6= 0). [note: we could have matched these by choosing particular values of c and matching up with the graph. For graph. example: c = 0 for 9 x2 y2 yields x2 + y2 = 9 (a circle of radius 3). 3x2 + y2 = c2 so that x2 c2/3 (b) sketch a gradient vector at the points a, b, and c. if the vector is 0, draw an x on the point.
