Answer

$$\frac{19}{15}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$f(x, y)=\ln (x y), \ \ \ x=3 r+2 s,\ \ \ y= 5r+3s ,\ \ \ (r,s)=(1,0)$$ Since at $(r,s)=(1,0)$; $(x,y)=( 3,5)$ and \begin{align*} \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}&= \frac{1}{x},\ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = \frac{1}{y}\\ \frac{\partial x}{\partial r}&= 3,\ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{\partial x}{\partial s} = 2\\ \frac{\partial y}{\partial r}&= 5,\ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{\partial y}{\partial s} = 3\\ \end{align*} Then \begin{align*} \frac{\partial f}{\partial s}&=\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial s}+\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\frac{\partial y}{\partial s}\\ &=\frac{2}{x} +\frac{3}{y}\\ \frac{\partial f}{\partial s}\bigg|_{(3,5)}&= \frac{2}{3} +\frac{3}{5}=\frac{19}{15} \end{align*}
