Answer

\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial z }{\partial x} =- \frac{y+z}{x+y} \end{aligned} \begin{aligned} \frac{\partial z }{\partial y} =- \frac{x+z}{x+y} \end{aligned}

Work Step by Step

Given $$ xz+yz +xy=0$$ by letting $$F(x,y,z)= xz+yz +xy$$ So, we have $$F_x(x,y,z)=\frac{\partial F(x,y,z)}{\partial x}=z+y\\ $$ $$F_y(x,y,z)=\frac{\partial F(x,y,z)}{\partial y}= x+z$$ $$F_z(x,y,z)=\frac{\partial F(x,y,z)}{\partial z}=x+y$$ Also, we get \begin{aligned} \frac{\partial z }{\partial x}&=-\frac{F_{x}(x, y,z)}{F_{z}(x, y,z)} \\ &=- \frac{y+z}{x+y} \end{aligned} \begin{aligned} \frac{\partial z }{\partial y}&=-\frac{F_{y}(x, y,z)}{F_{z}(x, y,z)} \\ &=- \frac{x+z}{x+y} \end{aligned}
