Chapter 12 - Functions of Several Veriables - 12.5 The Chain Rule - 12.5 Exercises - Page 913: 4

Answer

$$ \frac{\partial z}{\partial t} =\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} \frac{\partial g}{\partial t} +\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} \frac{\partial h}{\partial t} . $$

Work Step by Step

To find $\frac{\partial z}{\partial t} $ we apply the chain rule as follows $$ \frac{\partial z}{\partial t} =\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} \frac{\partial g}{\partial t} +\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} \frac{\partial h}{\partial t} . $$
