(a) In symbolic form, these level surfaces are given by where is a constant. For what values of are level surfaces defined? (Give your answer as an interval or list of intervals; for example, if c is less than 1 or greater than or equal to 2, enter (-inf,1),[2,inf).)
(b) Pick a level surface that intersects the -plane. What is your value of ? Write the equation for the intersection, as an expression set equal to a constant: =
(c) Pick a level surface that intersects the -plane. What is your value of (which might be different from that you used in (a)? Write the equation for the intersection, as an expression set equal to a constant: =
(d) Pick a level surface that intersects the -plane. What is your value of ? Write the equation for the intersection, as an expression set equal to a constant: =
