Answer

\begin{align*} (a)&\frac{\partial h}{\partial s} =\frac{1}{t}-2t(s t-t r) \\ (b)&\frac{\partial h}{\partial t} =\frac{-s}{t^2}+\frac{1}{r}-2(s t-t r)(s-r) \\ (c)&\frac{\partial h}{\partial r} = \frac{-t}{r^2}+2t(s t-t r) \\ (d)&\frac{\partial h}{\partial r}\bigg|_{ ( 1,2,-1)} = \frac{-2}{(-1)^2}+2(2)(2+2) = 14\\ \end{align*}

Work Step by Step

Given $$h(s, t, r)=\frac{s}{t}+\frac{t}{r}-(s t-t r)^{2}$$ Since \begin{align*} (a)&\frac{\partial h}{\partial s} =\frac{1}{t}-2t(s t-t r) \\ (b)&\frac{\partial h}{\partial t} =\frac{-s}{t^2}+\frac{1}{r}-2(s t-t r)(s-r) \\ (c)&\frac{\partial h}{\partial r} = \frac{-t}{r^2}+2t(s t-t r) \\ (d)&\frac{\partial h}{\partial r}\bigg|_{ ( 1,2,-1)} = \frac{-2}{(-1)^2}+2(2)(2+2) = 14\\ \end{align*}
