Ans-
The contour at height c is given by
 
 This is a contour only for c  0, For c > 0 it is a circle of radius
 . For c = 0, it is a single point
 (the origin). Thus, the contours at an elevation of c = 1, 2, 3, 4, … are all circles centered at the
 origin of radius 1,
 , , 2, …. The contour diagram is shown in Figure 12.40. The bowl–shaped
 graph of f is shown in Figure
 12.41. Notice that the graph of f gets steeper as we move further away
 from the origin. This is reflected in the fact that the contours become more closely packed as we
 move further from the origin; for example, the contours for c = 6 and c = 8 are closer together than
 the contours for c = 2 and c = 4.
For c > 0 this is a circle, just as in the previous example, but here the radius is c instead of
 . For
 c = 0, it is the origin. Thus, if the level c increases by 1, the radius of the contour increases by 1.
 This means the contours are equally spaced concentric circles (see Figure
 12.42) which do not
 become more closely packed further from the origin. Thus, the graph of f has the same constant
 slope as we move away from the origin (see Figure
 12.43), making it a cone rather than a bowl.
