Because the arthroscope and surgical instruments are thin, your surgeon can use very small incisions, rather than the larger incision needed for open surgery. This results in less pain for patients, less joint stiffness, and often shortens the time it takes to recover and return to favorite activities. During arthroscopy, your surgeon can see the structures of your knee in great detail on a video monitor.
For a function of three variables, a level set is a surface in three-dimensional space that we will call a level surface. For a constant value $c$ in the range of $f(x,y,z)$, the level surface of $f$ is the implicit surface given by the graph of $c=f(x,y,z)$.
The range of these test scores is 21 points. Definition: The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. In the problem above, the set of data consists of 7 test scores. We ordered the data from least to greatest before finding the range.
