Answer

$u_{x_1}=\cos{(x_1+2x_2+...+nx_n)}$, $u_{x_2}=2\cos{(x_1+2x_2+...+nx_n)}$,,,$u_{x_n}=n\cos{(x_1+2x_2+...+nx_n)}$.

Work Step by Step

$u=\sin{(x_1+2x_2+...+nx_n)}$ In order to find $u_{x_1}$ we treat all other variables as constants and differentiate with respect to $x_1$. $u_{x_1}=\cos{(x_1+2x_2+...+nx_n)}$ Analogously: $u_{x_2}=2\cos{(x_1+2x_2+...+nx_n)}$ . . . $u_{x_n}=n\cos{(x_1+2x_2+...+nx_n)}$
