Please plot these figures using https://c3d.libretexts.org/CalcPlot3D/index.html
Make sure to label each print-out with the problem number!
NOTE: To print a plot, click on the triple bars at the left edge of the top green bar, and then click on the Print Plot option.
If you use the standard print page option of the browser, the plot will NOT appear!!

NOTE: for part c of problems 22, 24, and 28, please make use of CalcPlot3D to draw the level curves, and then use words (on the plot) to "describe" the curves.
Also note that for #24, use "Sqrt" (with capital "S") or "sqrt" (all lower case) to indicate the square root.
For problems 53, 55 and 57, use CalcPlot3D to sketch the level surfaces in this way: select "Implicit surface" and choose a specific value (e.g., 1 as the value of f(x,y,z) ) for f(x,y,z) to plot.
