How to draw or describe Level curves of $xln (y^2-x)$

How to find the level curves of $$f(x,y)=xln (y^2-x)$$
If I had $f(x,y)=ln (y^2-x)$, the level curves would have the equation $x=y^2-e^k$, which is a parabola with horizontal axis of symmetry. But now when I have $x$ that multiples on, I get stuck.

What do you mean with "$x$ that multiplies on"? When you fix $k$, you have a graph. Therefore, for a fixed $k$, $x=y^2 - e^k$ is a level curve. I don't see any problem here.

Why not just solve $f(x,y)=k$ for $y$ (up to $pm$) and plot the curve?

The level curves have the equation $xln(y^2-x)=kinBbb R$. The point $(0,y)$ lies on the level curve only for $k=0$. For $kne0,xne0$.
For $k,xne0$, you can isolate $x,y$ as under:
$displaystyle xln(y^2-x)=kimplies y^2=x+e^{frac kx} (k,xne0)$
When $k=0$, you get the level curves $x=0ne y,y^2=x+1$ in the $xy$ plane.
The level curves are $begin{cases}displaystyle y^2=x+e^frac zx,&zne0\x=0ne y,y^2=x+1, &z=0end{cases}$
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
I don't think that you should divide by $x$ or exclude 0 since it is inside the domain of the function. Or can you explain why you exclude 0?
