Answer

$z_x=\dfrac{x}{1-z} \\ z_y=\dfrac{y}{z-1}$

Work Step by Step

Recall Equation 7: $z_x=-\dfrac{F_x}{F_z}$ and $z_y=-\dfrac{F_y}{F_z}$ ...(1) Given: $x^2-y^2+z^2-2z=4$ $\implies x^2-y^2+z^2-2z-4=0$ Let us consider that $F(x,y,z)=x^2-y^2+z^2-2z-4$ $F_x=2x\\F_y=-2y\\F_z=2z-2$ Use Equation 7 which is: $z_x=-\dfrac{F_x}{F_z}$ and $z_y=-\dfrac{F_y}{F_z}$ Now, we have $z_x=-\dfrac{F_x}{F_z}=-\dfrac{2x}{2z-2}\\z_y=-\dfrac{F_y}{F_z}=-\dfrac{2y}{2z-2}$ and $z_x=\dfrac{x}{1-z} \\ z_y=\dfrac{y}{z-1}$
