Answer

a) ∂f /∂x|(1,1,1) = e b) ∂f /∂y|(1,1,1) = 2e c) ∂f /∂z|(1,1,1) = e

Work Step by Step

let f(x,y,z) = y^{2}e^{xz} a) Calculate the partial derivative ∂f/∂x ∂f/∂x = ∂/∂x[y^{2}e^{xz}] ∂f/∂x = y^{2}∂/∂x[e^{xz}] ∂f/∂x = y^{2}ze^{xz} Calculate the partial derivative ∂f/∂x at point (1,1,1) ∂f/∂x = y^{2}ze^{xz} ∂f /∂x|(1,1,1) = (1)^{2}(1)e^{1\times1} ∂f /∂x|(1,1,1) = e b) Calculate the partial derivative ∂f /∂y ∂f /∂y = ∂/∂y[y^{2}e^{xz}] ∂f /∂y = e^{xz}d/dy[y^{2}] ∂f /∂y = 2ye^{xz} Calculate the partial derivative ∂f/∂y at point (1,1,1) ∂f /∂y = 2ye^{xz} ∂f /∂y|(1,1,1) = 2(1)e^{1\times1} ∂f /∂y|(1,1,1) = 2e c) Calculate the partial derivative ∂f/∂z ∂f/∂z = ∂/∂z[y^{2}e^{xz}] ∂f/∂z = y^{2}∂/∂z[e^{xz}] ∂f/∂z = y^{2}xe^{xz} Calculate the partial derivative ∂f/∂z at point (1,1,1) ∂f/∂z = y^{2}xe^{xz} ∂f /∂z|(1,1,1) = (1)^{2}(1)e^{1\times1} ∂f /∂z|(1,1,1) = e
