Hey Dr. Taylor,
How am I suppose to get this? I thought when looking at contour plots for local extrema that we look for concentric circles that come around a point. This diagram only shows parts of it, and I've been
guessing the points and level curves because the problem's picture only shows part of the curves, and not even the parts that would show the extrema (concentric circles around a point, the point representing a max or min).
I know we aren't supposed to guess on answers, but I don't know how else to solve this?? I literally guessed the first coordinate by estimating where the circle's center would be by looking at the section of the circle that was given in this section of the contour diagram... But I can't estimate the second one's coordinates.
Thank you!

you did just fine. as you point out, guessing is the only thing you can do here. that happens a lot when you have incomplete information as you do here.
