Work Step by Step

$ a.\quad$ To sketch the surface $z=f(x,y)=y^{2},$ note that: * z is nonnegative (the surface is on or above the xy plane), * x is ommited from the equation: the trace in $x=0$ (the yz plane) will be translated along the x axis (similar to unbounded cylinders). The trace in the yz plane is a parabola, $z=y^{2}$, which we translate along the x-axis into planes $x=k, k\in \mathbb{R}.$ $ b.\quad$ In the xy plane, we equate $f(x,y)$ with several values of c, resulting in $z=y^{2}=c\qquad $(so only nonnnegative c apply) These are parallel lines $y=\pm\sqrt{c}.$ Take $c=0,1,4,9,16$
