this is easier to see (for me) as 1 + e^-(x^2+y^2)
clearly, the domain is all reals for both x and y.
since f(x,y) is even, its maximum is at f(0,0) = 2, and e^-(x^2+y^2) goes to 0, so the range is [1,2]
The level curves are circles, since we want f(x,y) = c
e^-(x^2+y^2) = c
e^(x^2+y^2) = c
x^2+y^2 = ln c
for suitably chosen values of c
