We are given the following expressions:

$z = 4e^x \ln y$ $x = \ln(u \cos v)$ $y = u \sin v$

where $(u, v) = (2, \frac{\pi}{4})$.

We need to express $\frac{\partial z}{\partial u}$ and $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$ in terms of $u$ and $y$ using both the Chain Rule and by differentiating $z$ directly with respect to $u$ and $y$.

Part 1: Using the Chain Rule

First, we can apply the chain rule to compute $\frac{\partial z}{\partial u}$ and $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$.

1.1 $\frac{\partial z}{\partial u}$ using the chain rule:

We know that: $z = 4e^x \ln y$

By the chain rule: $\frac{\partial z}{\partial u} = \frac{\partial z}{\partial x} \cdot \frac{\partial x}{\partial u} + \frac{\partial z}{\partial y} \cdot \frac{\partial y}{\partial u}$

Let's compute the partial derivatives step by step:

• $\frac{\partial z}{\partial x} = 4e^x \ln y$
• $\frac{\partial x}{\partial u} = \frac{1}{u \cos v}$
• $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} = \frac{4e^x}{y}$
• $\frac{\partial y}{\partial u} = \sin v$

Now we substitute all these into the chain rule formula: $\frac{\partial z}{\partial u} = 4e^x \ln y \cdot \frac{1}{u \cos v} + \frac{4e^x}{y} \cdot \sin v$

1.2 $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$ using the chain rule:

From $z = 4e^x \ln y$, we can directly differentiate with respect to $y$: $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} = \frac{4e^x}{y}$

Part 2: Expressing $z$ directly in terms of $u$ and $y$

2.1 Substituting $x = \ln(u \cos v)$ and $y = u \sin v$ into $z$:

We start by substituting $x$ and $y$ into the original equation for $z$: $z = 4e^{\ln(u \cos v)} \ln(u \sin v)$ Since $e^{\ln(a)} = a$, this simplifies to: $z = 4(u \cos v) \ln(u \sin v)$ Now, we can differentiate directly with respect to $u$ and $y$.

2.2 $\frac{\partial z}{\partial u}$:

Differentiating $z = 4(u \cos v) \ln(u \sin v)$ with respect to $u$: $\frac{\partial z}{\partial u} = 4 \left[ \cos v \ln(u \sin v) + \frac{\cos v}{u \sin v} \cdot u \right]$ Simplifying: $\frac{\partial z}{\partial u} = 4\cos v \left( \ln(u \sin v) + 1 \right)$

2.3 $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$:

We already computed $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$ using the chain rule, which gives: $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} = \frac{4e^x}{y}$

Now, let's plug in the values $(u, v) = (2, \frac{\pi}{4})$ to simplify and obtain the numeric results.

Substituting $u = 2$ and $v = \frac{\pi}{4}$:

• $\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

• $x = \ln\left(2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = \ln\left(\sqrt{2}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \ln(2)$

• $y = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$

Now you can substitute these values into the expressions for $\frac{\partial z}{\partial u}$ and $\frac{\partial z}{\partial y}$ to obtain the final numeric results.

Would you like me to compute these numerically for you?
