Dear great masters

I have two functions u(x,y) and phi(x,y) defined by
u = Cos[x] + 0.3*(y-0.1*Cos[x])^2;
phi=0.36 (y - 0.1 Cos[x])^2  + (-Sin[x] + 0.06 (y - 0.1 Cos[x]) Sin[x])^2;

For some limited parameterinterval I can invert u with respect to y to
get a function yy(x,uu) fulfilling

u(x,yy(x,u)) = u(x,y)

I would like to choose 3 values of u and draw graphs of
phi(x,yy(x,u)). I have a feeling that I should use implicitplot to do
this, but I am stuck and I would be grateful for a few hints.

                        Thanks in advance

                                Niels
