Answer

$$dw = \frac{1}{{y + z}}du + \frac{1}{{y + z}}dx - \frac{{u + x}}{{{{\left( {y + z} \right)}^2}}}dy - \frac{{u + x}}{{{{\left( {y + z} \right)}^2}}}dz$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & w = f\left( {u,x,y,z} \right) = \frac{{u + x}}{{y + z}} \cr & {\text{Calculate the partial derivatives}} \cr & {w_u} = \frac{1}{{y + z}} \cr & {w_x} = \frac{1}{{y + z}} \cr & {w_y} = - \frac{{u + x}}{{{{\left( {y + z} \right)}^2}}} \cr & {w_z} = - \frac{{u + x}}{{{{\left( {y + z} \right)}^2}}} \cr & {\text{The diferential }}dw{\text{ is given by}} \cr & dw = {w_u}du + {w_x}dx + {w_y}dy + {w_y}dz \cr & dw = \frac{1}{{y + z}}du + \frac{1}{{y + z}}dx - \frac{{u + x}}{{{{\left( {y + z} \right)}^2}}}dy - \frac{{u + x}}{{{{\left( {y + z} \right)}^2}}}dz \cr} $$
