Answer

$w_x=\frac{1}{x+2y+3z}$, $w_y=\frac{2}{x+2y+3z}$, $w_z=\frac{3}{x+2y+3z}$.

Work Step by Step

$w=\ln{(x+2y+3z)}$ In order to find $w_x$ we treat $y$ and $z$ as constants and differentiate with respect to $x$. $w_x=\frac{1}{x+2y+3z}$ Analogously. $w_y=\frac{2}{x+2y+3z}$ $w_z=\frac{3}{x+2y+3z}$
