Answer

a) 1 b) 1

Work Step by Step

a) Using chain rule. $\dfrac{dw}{dt}=\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial x}\dfrac{dx}{dt}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial y}\dfrac{dy}{dt}+\dfrac{\partial w}{\partial z}\dfrac{dz}{dt}$ or, $=\dfrac{-2}{z}\sin t cos t +\dfrac{2}{z}\sin t cos t+\dfrac{x+y}{z^2 t^2}$ or, $\dfrac{dw}{dt}=\dfrac{\cos^2 t+\sin^2 t}{(1/t^2)(t^2)}=1$ Using direct differentiation. since, $w=\dfrac{x}{z}+\dfrac{y}{z}=\dfrac{\cos^2 t}{(1/t)}+\dfrac{\sin^2 t}{(1/t)}t$ and $\dfrac{dw}{dt}=1$ Now, b) $\dfrac{dw}{dt}(3)=1$
