Consider .
The domain is .
The range is .
Give a description of the level curve that passes through in terms of and .
The level curve that passes through the point is depicted in the figure
below.
This level curve is a linea planea parabolaa circlean ellipsea
hyperbola.
Does the curve parameterized by lie on a level curve of ?
Yes.No.
Give a parameterization of the curve on the surface that lies above .
If lies on a level curve of , then should be constant along . Along , we have and so
, which isis not constant.
To find the curve on the surface above the curve, note that and . We can use the
function to write in terms of .
