Find an equation for and sketch the graph of the level curve of the function​f(x,y) that passes through the given point.
2
f(x,y) = x + y + 1 ​, (7,1)

2
First determine whether (7,1) is in the domain of f. Since the domain of f is all points​(x,y) satisfying x + y + 1 ≥ 0 and
2
7 + (1) + 1 is greater than or equal to​0, then (7,1) is in the domain of f.

To find the equation of the level​curve, first find​f(x,y) by substituting the given values of x and y in the equation.

f(x,y) = 2
x+y +1
= 2
7 + ( 1) + 1

Now evaluate the resulting expression.

2
7 + ( 1) + 1 = 3

2
So, the level curve ​f(x,y) = 3 is the set of points in the​xy-plane at which x + y + 1 = 3.

To find the equation of the level​curve, square each side of the equation.

2  
2 2
x+y +1 = (3)
 
2
x+y +1 = 9

2
Solve for x and y by subtracting 1 from both sides.

2  
x+y +1 = 9
2  
x+y = 8

2
Therefore, the equation of the level curve that passes through (7,1) is x + y = 8.

2
Now determine the graph that represents the level curve x + y = 8. Since the equation of the level curve can be rewritten as
(y − ​k)2 = ​4p(x − ​h), the graph of the level curve is a parabola.

2 y
The equation of the level curve can be rewritten as y = − (x − 8). ​So, the graph of the 10
2
level curve of ​f(x,y) = x + y + 1 passing through (7,1) is shown to the right.
