We cannot plot the 4D graph (x, y, z, w) of a function of three variables w = f(x, y, z),
but we can look at its 3D level surfaces f(x, y, z) = c. Given the function of three
variables w = x + 2², choose five distinct constants C₁, C2, C3, C4, and c5 to plot five
level surfaces x + z² = c; in one figure using Contour Plot3D. To create a nice picture,
pick the appropriate range for each variable and play with the option Contour Style →
Opacity to make all the surfaces clearly seen in the combined plot.
Describe in words the level surfaces of g(x, y, z) = e-(x²+(y-1)'+z²). Think what the intersections of these surfaces with the three
coordinate planes look like.
(a) In symbolic form, these level surfaces are given by e-(x²+(y-1)+z*) = c where c is a constant. For what values of c 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 xz-plane. What is your value of c?
Write the equation for the intersection, as an expression set equal to a constant:
