Answer

a) $z_x=f'(x)g(y)$ $z_y=f(x)g'(y)$ b)$z_x=f'(xy)\times y$ $z_y=f'(xy)\times x$ c) $z_x=f'(x/y)\times1/y$ $z_y=f'(x/y)\times -x/y^2$

Work Step by Step

Take the first partial derivatives of the given function. When taking partial derivative with respect to x, treat y as a constant, and vice versa. Do not forget to apply chain rule: a) $z_x=f'(x)g(y)\times1$ $z_y=f(x)g'(y)\times1$ b)$z_x=f'(xy)\times y$ $z_y=f'(xy)\times x$ c) $z_x=f'(x/y)\times1/y$ $z_y=f'(x/y)\times -x/y^2$
