Math Problem Statement
Find (∂w/∂x)_y,z if w = x^2 + y - z + sin t and x + y = t.
Solution
The problem asks us to find , where and .
Step-by-step solution:
1. Recognize the problem structure:
- The constraint: (which implicitly defines in terms of and ).
2. Apply the constraint:
From , we can express as: This allows us to replace in the function with .
Thus, becomes: Simplifying:
3. Differentiate with respect to :
Now, to find , we differentiate the simplified expression with respect to , treating and as constants.
Thus, the answer is:

Here are some related questions to think about:
- How does the chain rule apply when functions involve constraints like ?
- What would happen if depended on (i.e., if )?
- Can you compute directly from the original expression?
- How would the problem change if had terms like ?
- What if also depended on non-linearly (e.g., )?
Tip: When dealing with constrained functions, always remember to incorporate the constraints before differentiating!
