Tutorial Exercise
A thin metal plate, located in the xy-plane, has temperature $T(x, y)$ at the point $(x, y)$. Sketch some level curves (isothermals) if the temperature function
is given by
$$T(x, y) = \frac{150}{1 + x^2 + 6y^2}$$
Step 1
The isothermals of $T(x, y) = \frac{150}{1 + x^2 + 6y^2}$ are $\frac{150}{1 + x^2 + 6y^2} = k$.
This can be re-written as $x^2 + 6y^2 = \boxed{150}$ $0 < k \le 150$
