Need help with graph and level set equation, please!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can You post the questions or a graph question? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!! Consider the surface in R3 determined by the equation z sin(x + y) + x^2- 3xy + 2z = 7: Find a function g(x, y, z) such that this surface is a level set of g and find a function f(x, y) such that this surface is the graph of f. Help please! Consider the surface in R3 determined by the equation z sin(x + y) + x^2- 3xy + 2z = 7: Find a function g(x, y, z) such that this surface is a level set of g and find a function f(x, y) such that this surface is the graph of f.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes .. i believe so.. not sure how to go about solving it though.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, not graph it! just Find a function g(x, y, z) such that this surface is a level set of g and find a function f(x, y) such that this surface is the graph of f.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you will get f(x,y) by made z as a constatnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how we cut the curve and all variables are there?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

.... just got an awsnap page :/

OpenStudy (amistre64):

move nonZs to other side, factor out a z from whats left over, and divide off the extra.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

can you refresh my memory on what a level set is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think not sure it's when we made z a constant

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a slice of the graph level across the z axis ... perchance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

example x²+y²+z²=9 if we made z a constant we will get a circle x²+y²=9-c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we cut the sphere so we will get a circle

OpenStudy (amistre64):

are those level curves? or level sets?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a level set of a real-valued function f of n variables is a set of the form that is, a set where the function takes on a given constant value c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how can we make one variale constant and a have a function of three variables?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i dont think i have enough experience to determine the level set part

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i would be inclined to thing that f(x,y) = z defines the level set .... but i cant be sure im reading the materials corretly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm ok .. thank you
