A level curve of a function of two variables 𝐹:﷐ℝ﷮2﷯→ℝ is a curve in the x-y plane, defined by 𝐹﷐𝑥,𝑦﷯=𝐶
They can be obtained by intersecting the graph of F with the horizontal plane 𝑧=𝐶, and then projecting this intersection onto the x-y plane

𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑧=𝐹﷐𝑥,𝑦﷯We can obtain each level curve by setting 𝑧=𝐶 for some 𝑟 that we decide

𝑧
Level Curve
z=0
﷐𝑥﷮2﷯+﷐𝑦﷮2﷯=0
z=1
﷐𝑥﷮2﷯+﷐𝑦﷮2﷯=1
z=4
﷐𝑥﷮2﷯+﷐𝑦﷮2﷯=4

A surface in ﷐𝑅﷮3﷯ is described by the equation ﷐𝑧﷮2﷯=1−﷐𝑥﷮2﷯−﷐𝑦﷮2﷯
Sketch some level curves and hence sketch the profile in R
