Let . Determine the equations and shapes of the cross-sections when , , , and
describe the level curves.
The level curves are best described as:
All the level curves will satisfy the equation ,
for some .
Therefore, a level curve corresponding to an output is given by
or , which is equivalent to
or .
Four level curves, corresponding to output values , , , and , are shown in the picture
below.
