Question:

In Problem use a graphing calculator as necessary to explore the graphs of the indicated cross sections.

Let f(x, y) = x2.

(A) Explain why the cross sections of the surface z = f(x, y) produced by cutting it with planes parallel to y = 0 are parabolas.

(B) Describe the cross sections of the surface in the planes x = 0, x = 1, and x = 2.

(C) Describe the surface z = f(x, y).
