    In this video we're talking about how to sketch the level curves of a multivariable function.
    Skip to section:
    0:48 // What are level curves?
    4:03 // How to sketch level curves?
    5:02 // How to find equations of level curves?
    7:52 // How to rewrite the function to graph the multivariable function?
    12:15 // How many level curves should you draw?
    13:30 // What are the level curves for a plane?
    16:24 // Summary for how to sketch level curves
    Whenever you're dealing with a multivariable function, the graph of that function will be a three-dimensional figure in space. If you take a perfectly horizontal sheet or plane that's parallel to the xy-plane, and you use that to slice through your three-dimensional figure, then what you get at the intersection of the figure and the plane is a two-dimensional curve.
    What we want to be able to do is slice through the figure at all different heights in order to get what we call the "level curves" of a function. Then we want to be able to transfer all those two-dimensional curves into the two-dimensional plane, sketching those in the xy-plane.
    This will give us the sketch of level curves of the function. In this video we're going to talk about how to find the level curves both graphically (by looking at a picture of the three-dimensional figure) and algebraically, by replacing z in the multivariable function with a constant c, and then substituting different values for c in order to get equations that are in terms of x and y only and can therefore be graphed in the xy-plane.

    Hi, I’m Krista! I make math courses to keep you from banging your head against the wall. ;)
    Math class was always so frustrating for me. I’d go to a class, spend hours on homework, and three days later have an “Ah-ha!” moment about how the problems worked that could have slashed my homework time in half. I’d think, “WHY didn’t my teacher just tell me this in the first place?!”
    So I started tutoring to keep other people out of the same aggravating, time-sucking cycle. Since then, I’ve recorded tons of videos and written out cheat-sheet style notes and formula sheets to help every math student-from basic middle school classes to advanced college calculus-figure out what’s going on, understand the important concepts, and pass their classes, once and for all.

    Dear Krista, I have faithfully watched yours and Christine Breiner’s (of MIT Courseware) Calculus videos. Truthfully, I am beyond amazed at both of your levels of skill and brilliance, and the ability to teach and do so in such a pleasant, down to earth, caring way. Thank you both for all you do and please continue with more videos. I am nowhere near your levels, but I do learn from you, and it is a very enjoyable learning experience each time. Blessings, George.

    Could you tell me please why the ellipsoid in the second example is elongated along the x-axis? The x^2 is divided by 4 but y^2 isn't, so I don't understand why x would be elongated. It seems to me that x would be shrunken more if divided by 4. Thanks.

    • @cyberprincessASMR
      @cyberprincessASMR Рік тому

      with the ellipsoid equation, the denominator of x and y correspond to the 'magnitude' of the ellipsoid. meaning that, if you have (x^2 /a^2) + (y^/b^2), the size of the elipsoid will be: a (in x axis) and b (in y axis). In the example, x is divided by 4, (therefore the elongation will be in 2 **because root of 4 = 2** ), and y is divided by 1 (meaning its elongation in the y axis will be of 1). if you plot the points in the 2d graph, youll see that x is elongated
