Sketch the level curves in the xy-plane of f(x,y)=3-y-x^2 for k=0,2,4.
Anyone mind helping/teaching me how to do these type of problems? :yuck:

A function of several variables is a mathematical rule that assigns a unique output value to a combination of multiple input values. It is typically denoted as f(x,y,z) and can have any number of independent variables.
A function of several variables differs from a single variable function in that it takes in multiple independent variables as input and produces a single output. In contrast, a single variable function only takes in one independent variable.
A level set in a function of several variables is a set of points that share a common output value. In other words, it is a collection of points where the function evaluates to a specific constant. The graph of a level set resembles a contour map.
Yes, a function of several variables can have multiple local maxima and minima. This is because the function can vary in multiple directions, allowing for multiple points of maximum and minimum values.
Functions of several variables have many practical applications in fields such as engineering, physics, economics, and computer science. They are used to model complex systems and relationships, such as in optimization problems, image processing, and financial analysis.
