Describe the level curves of the function f(x,y) = x^2 +y^2 -2x+1 ?

OpenStudy (tiffany_rhodes):

Wouldn't the level curves just be circles/rings? I'm just not sure around which point, because the function is shifted away from the origin.

@Alchemista so (1,0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The derivative is \(0\) at \((1, 0)\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The derivative and function are both 0 at \((1, 0)\)

Thanks @Alchemista
