Answer

$dz/dt=( y^3-2xy)(2t)+(3xy^2-x^2)(2t)$ or $dz/dt=( (t^2-1)^3-2(t^2+1)(t^2-1))(2t)+(3(t^2+1)(t^2-1)^2-(t^2+1)^2(2t))$

Work Step by Step

Chain Rule is: $dz/dt=(z_{x})(dx/dt)+(z_{y})(dy/dt)$ Find partial derivatives for z with respect to x and y: $z_{x} = y^3-2xy$ $z_{y}=3xy^2-x^2$ Find the first order derivatives of x and y: $dx/dt=2t$ $dy/dt=2t$ Plug in the solved parts into the Chain rule to find dz/dt: $dz/dt=( y^3-2xy)(2t)+(3xy^2-x^2)(2t)$ Plug in the x and y equations into dz/dt to make all variables t: $dz/dt=( (t^2-1)^3-2(t^2+1)(t^2-1))(2t)+(3(t^2+1)(t^2-1)^2-(t^2+1)^2(2t))$
