Answer

\begin{align*} (a)&\frac{\partial k}{\partial x} =\frac{x}{ x+y}+\ln (x+y) \\ (b)&\frac{\partial k}{\partial y} =\frac{x}{ x+y}\\ (c)&\frac{\partial k}{\partial y}\bigg|_{x=3} = \frac{3}{ 3+y}\\ (d)&\frac{\partial k}{\partial y}\bigg|_{(3,2)} = \frac{5}{ 5}\\ \end{align*}

Work Step by Step

Given $$k(x, y)=x \ln (x+y) $$ Since \begin{align*} (a)&\frac{\partial k}{\partial x} =\frac{x}{ x+y}+\ln (x+y) \\ (b)&\frac{\partial k}{\partial y} =\frac{x}{ x+y}\\ (c)&\frac{\partial k}{\partial y}\bigg|_{x=3} = \frac{3}{ 3+y}\\ (d)&\frac{\partial k}{\partial y}\bigg|_{(3,2)} = \frac{5}{ 5}\\ \end{align*}
