Which of the following graphs depicts the level curves of $z(x,y)=x^2 + y^2$ with values $k=1$ and $k=4$?



It is not possible to draw the level curves of this function, because $z(x,y)=k$ cannot be rewritten.

Correct: Rewriting of $x^2 + y^2 = k$ for $k=1$ gives:
$$ x^2 + y^2 = 1 \iff y^2 = 1-x^2 \iff y = \pm\sqrt{1-x^2}.$$
The graph of this is the central circle; you might recognize $x^2+y^2=1$ as the circle equation with center $(0,0)$ and radius $\sqrt{1}=1$. Rewriting of $x^2 + y^2 = k$ for $k=4$ gives:
$$ x^2 + y^2 = 4 \iff y^2 = 4-x^2 \iff y = \pm\sqrt{4-x^2}.$$
The graph of this is the outside circle; you might recognize $x^2+y^2=4$ as the circle equation with center $(0,0)$ and radius $\sqrt{4}=2$.

Go on.

Wrong: Pay attention when rewriting $z(x,y)=k$. The radius of the outside circle is not equal to 4.

See Example 1 en Example 2.

Wrong: Pay attention when rewriting $z(x,y)=k$. Note that $y^2 = \ldots$ gives two solutions.
