Answer

$ \frac{dw}{dt}\Big|_{t=1}=7-2\pi$

Work Step by Step

\[ \frac{dw}{dt}=f_x(x,y,z)\frac{dx}{dt}+f_y(x,y,z)\frac{dy}{dt}+f_z(x,y,z)\frac{dz}{dt}. \] Compute the derivatives of the parameter functions: \[ \frac{dx}{dt}=1,\qquad \frac{dy}{dt}=\pi\cos(\pi t),\qquad \frac{dz}{dt}=2t. \] At \(t=1\) we have \(x=1,\ y=\sin(\pi)=0,\ z=1^2+1=2\), so we may use the given partial derivatives: \[ \frac{dw}{dt}\Big|_{t=1} = f_x(1,0,2)\cdot 1 + f_y(1,0,2)\cdot \pi\cos(\pi) + f_z(1,0,2)\cdot 2(1). \] Substituting the values, \[ \frac{dw}{dt}\Big|_{t=1} = 1\cdot 1 + 2\cdot \pi\cos(\pi) + 3\cdot 2 = 1 + 2\pi(-1) + 6 = 7 - 2\pi. \] \[ \boxed{\displaystyle \frac{dw}{dt}\Big|_{t=1}=7-2\pi} \]
