Answer

$z_x=\dfrac{yz}{e^z-xy}$ and $z_y=\dfrac{xz}{e^z-xy}$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $e^z=xyz$ Re-arrange as: $e^z-xyz=0$ Consider $F(x,y,z)=e^z-xyz=0$ $F_x=-yz$ and $F_y=-xz$ and $F_z=e^z-xy$ Use Equation 7: $z_x=-\dfrac{F_x}{F_z}$ and $z_y=-\dfrac{F_y}{F_z}$ $z_x=-\dfrac{F_x}{F_z}=-\dfrac{-yz}{e^z-xy}=\dfrac{yz}{e^z-xy}$ and $z_y=-\dfrac{F_y}{F_z}=-\dfrac{-xz}{e^z-xy}=\dfrac{xz}{e^z-xy}$ Hence, we have $z_x=\dfrac{yz}{e^z-xy}$ and $z_y=\dfrac{xz}{e^z-xy}$
