Answer

$z_x=\dfrac{yz}{e^z-xy}$ and $z_y=\dfrac{xz}{e^z-xy}$

Work Step by Step

Recall Equation 7: $z_x=-\dfrac{F_x}{F_z}$ and $z_y=-\dfrac{F_y}{F_z}$ Given: $e^z=xyz$ This gives: $e^z-xyz=0$ Let us consider that $F(x,y,z)=e^z-xyz=0$ Here, we have $F_x=-yz\\F_y=-xz\\F_z=e^z-xy$ Equation (1) becomes: $z_x=-\dfrac{-yz}{e^z-xy}$ and $z_y=-\dfrac{-xz}{e^z-xy}$ Therefore, $z_x=\dfrac{yz}{e^z-xy}$ and $z_y=\dfrac{xz}{e^z-xy}$
