Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{\partial w}{\partial x}=ze^{xyz}\cdot yz=yz^{2}e^{xyz}$, $\displaystyle \frac{\partial w}{\partial y}=xz^{2}e^{xyz}$, $\displaystyle \frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=e^{xyz}(xyz+1)$

Work Step by Step

$w=ze^{xyz}.$ Treat y and z as constant to calculate $\displaystyle \frac{\partial w}{\partial x}$ $\displaystyle \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} \stackrel{\text{chain rule} }{=} ze^{xyz}\cdot(yz)=yz^{2}e^{xyz}$ Treat x and z as constant to calculate $\displaystyle \frac{\partial w}{\partial y}$ $\displaystyle \frac{\partial w}{\partial y}\stackrel{\text{chain rule} }{=} ze^{xyz}\cdot(xz) =xz^{2}e^{xyz}$ Treat x and y as constant to calculate $\displaystyle \frac{\partial w}{\partial z}$ $\displaystyle \frac{\partial w}{\partial z}\stackrel{\text{product, chain rule} }{=}ze^{xyz}\cdot(xy)+e^{xyz}\cdot(1)=e^{xyz}(xyz+1)$
