Answer

$$ f(x, y, z)=\ln \left|x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}\right| $$ $$ \begin{aligned} f_{x}(x, y, z)&= \frac{2 x-5 z^{2}}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}} \end{aligned} $$ $$ \begin{aligned} f_{y}(x, y, z) &=\frac{4 y^{3}}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}} \end{aligned} $$ $$ \begin{aligned} f_{z}(x, y, z) &=\frac{-10 x z}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}} \end{aligned} $$ $$ \begin{aligned} f_{yz}(x, y, z) &=\frac{40 x y^{3} z}{\left(x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}\right)^{2}}. \end{aligned} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ f(x, y, z)=\ln \left|x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}\right| $$ find $f_{x}(x, y, z).$ Using the formula of a natural logarithm function and the chain rule, treat $y$ and $z$ constants. $$ \begin{aligned} f_{x}(x, y, z)&= \frac{1}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}}. \frac{\partial}{\partial x} (x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}) \\ &=\frac{2 x-5 z^{2}}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}} \end{aligned} $$ find $f_{y}(x, y, z).$ Using the formula of a natural logarithm function and the chain rule, treat $x$ and $z$ constants. $$ \begin{aligned} f_{y}(x, y, z) &=\frac{1}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}}. \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}) \\ &=\frac{4 y^{3}}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}} \end{aligned} $$ find $f_{z}(x, y, z).$ Using the formula of a natural logarithm function and the chain rule, treat $x$ and $y$ constants. $$ \begin{aligned} f_{z}(x, y, z) &=\frac{1}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}}. \frac{\partial}{\partial z} (x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}) \\ &=\frac{-10 x z}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}} \end{aligned} $$ find $f_{yz}(x, y, z).$ The derivative of a function $f_{z}(x, y, z)$ relative $y$ and treat $x$ and $z$ constants. By using the quotient rule and the chain rule we have : $$ \begin{aligned} f_{yz}(x, y, z) &=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}(\frac{-10 x z}{x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}})\\ &= \frac{4 y^{3}(10 z x)}{\left(x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}\right)^{2}} \\ &=\frac{40 x y^{3} z}{\left(x^{2}-5 x z^{2}+y^{4}\right)^{2}}. \end{aligned} $$
