Chapter 12: Q 15. (page 916)

In Exercise, provide a rough sketch of the graph of a function of two variables with the specified level “curve(s).”

One level curve is a circle together with the point that is the center of the circle.

Short Answer

Expert verified

One level curve is a circle together with the point that is the center of the circle.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

One level curve is a circle together with the point that is the center of the circle.

02

Step 2. Explanation

The goal is to sketch a crude graph of a relationship of two variables with a "one level curve containing exactly two points."

The graph should have a single point at a value of $z$ to have a single point as one of the level curves.
