Answer

$p_t=\frac{2t^3}{\sqrt{t^4+u^2\cos v}}$, $p_u=\frac{u\cos v}{\sqrt{t^4+u^2\cos v}}$, $p_v=\frac{-u^2\sin v}{2\sqrt{t^4+u^2\cos v}}$.

Work Step by Step

$p=\sqrt{t^4+u^2\cos v}$ In order to find $p_t$ we treat $u$ and $v$ as constants and differentiate with respect to $t$. $p_t=\frac{2t^3}{\sqrt{t^4+u^2\cos v}}$ Analogously: $p_u=\frac{u\cos v}{\sqrt{t^4+u^2\cos v}}$ $p_v=\frac{-u^2\sin v}{2\sqrt{t^4+u^2\cos v}}$
