Answer

$f_{x}(x, y, z) =z-10xy^{3}z^{4},$ $f_{y}(x, y, z) =-15x^{2}y^{2}z^{4}$, $f_{z}(x, y, z)=x-20x^{2}y^{3}z^{3}$

Work Step by Step

$f(x, y, z) =xz -5x^{2}y^{3}z^{4}$ Treat y and z as constant to calculate $f_{x}(x, y, z)$ $f_{x}(x, y, z) =z-5y^{3}z^{4}(2x)=z-10xy^{3}z^{4}$ Treat x and z as constant to calculate $f_{y}(x, y, z)$ $f_{y}(x, y, z) =0-5x^{2}z^{4}(3y^{2})=-15x^{2}y^{2}z^{4}$, Treat x and y as constant to calculate $f_{z}(x, y, z)$ $f_{z}(x, y, z)=x-5x^{2}y^{3}(4z^{3})=x-20x^{2}y^{3}z^{3}$
