To find the equation for the level surface of the function f(x,y,z) = x + e^(y+z) that passes through the point (1, ln(4), ln(9)), the value of the function at that point is calculated as f(1, ln(4), ln(9)) = 37. Therefore, the equation of the level surface is x + e^(y+z) = 37. This represents all points (x, y, z) where the function equals 37. The discussion emphasizes the importance of substituting the given point into the function to derive the level surface equation. The final equation succinctly captures the relationship defined by the function at the specified point.

$\textsf{Find an equation for the level surface of the function}$
$$f(x,y,z)=x+e^{y+z}$$
$\textsf{ that passes through the point}$
$$(1, \ln(4), \ln(9))$$

Basically, you want:

$$f(x,y,z)=f\left(1,\ln(4),\ln(9)\right)$$

So, what do you get?

plug in would be

$f(1,\ln(4),\ln(9))=1+e^{\ln(4)+\ln(9)}=1+4 \cdot 9 =37$

Yes, so the equation of the level surface would be:

$$x+e^{y+z}=37$$
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
