This example demonstrates the concept of level curves, which are sets of points on a plane that have the same value for a given function. Using GeoGebra's ImplicitCurve command, level curves can be plotted. The example also includes a text field and several input boxes to dynamically adjust the height of the level curves. Suitable for high school mathematics education, particularly in coordinate geometry and function graphing.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. ImplicitCurve(f(x, y) - c) → L
  2. Textfield(f) → InputBox1
  3. Sequence(ImplicitCurve[f(x, y) - d], d, -5, 5, 1) → list1
