a)
2 2

T ( x , y )=150 e−3 x − y

We want to sketch two level curves:

2 2

T ( x , y )=150 e−3 x − y =50

2 2

150 e−3 x − y =50

2 2
50 1
e−3 x − y = =
150 3

1
log ⁡(e ¿ ¿−3 x 2− y 2 )=log ⁡( ) ¿
3

2 2 1
−3 x − y =log ⁡( )
3

1
+3 x 2+ y 2=−log ⁡( )
3

And The curve :

2 2

T ( x , y )=150 e−3 x − y =100

for wich we have, following the same identical passages:

2
+3 x 2+ y 2=−log ⁡( )
3
The blue one is T(x,y) = 50 and the red one is T(x,y)=100
b)

We can’t find T(x,y) = -10 because :

150 > 0 and

2 2

e−3 x − y >0

Therefore T(x,y) > 0 unless we consider complex numbers but a Temperature must be a real number

So it can’t be = -10
