Hmmmm.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you look at 5, you see it's a sphere so the level curves should be circles.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ z=\sqrt{25-x^2-y^2}\implies x^2+y^2+z^2=5^2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or rather, it is an upper hemipshere

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looking at 3\[ z=\frac{1}{x-1}\implies xz-z=1\implies x=\frac{1+z}{z} \]So \(x\) will be constant when \(z\) is constant... meaning straight lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By the way, 1 is a cylinder so it will be equally spaced circles, while 5 will be concentric circles

@MarcLeclair Are you following?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry I was doing something but there's one thing that throws me off and that is when we say equally spaced and unequally spaced, how do I figure that out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean if I draw the level curve of a sphere, it will be equally spaced out no? I mean the radius will change but not the space between each level curve

|dw:1381821402761:dw| As you get close, the level curves get closer.
