Draw pictures (in R^3) of the following:

1. z = f(x,y) = 4 - x^2 - y^2

2. Let F(x,y,z) = x^2 - y. Draw the level surface F = 1.

3. The intersection of the surfaces given by x^2 + y^2 = 4 and y^2 + z^2 = 4.

I've been looking in my calculus book (early transcendentals by Stewart) but haven't found much help. I have a TI-89 and was able to find the graph of the first one, but not sure if it's correct or not. The first one kind of looks like a spider web in the shape of a bowl. Can anyone verify that, or help with the rest?

That link will help solve problem #1 [f(x,y)], but I still need help with #2 and #3 [f(x,y,z)]

2 is hella easy. parabola.

3 is the intersection of two cylinders; one along z and the other along x

<< 2. Let F(x,y,z) = x^2 - y. Draw the level surface F = 1 >>



F is 1, so... x^2 - y = 1... NOTE, Z is a variable in this graph. you know what x^2 - y = 1 is on the XY plane, so.... ;-)
