use implicit differentiation and partial differentiation

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to do the partial differentiation sign find z/x 3x^2+4y^2+2z^2=5

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

Now when you're doing partial differentiation of z with respect to x, just treat z as f(x), x as x, and everything else as a constant..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

So your derivative would be: 6x + 0 +4z(dz/dx)=0

OpenStudy (bahrom7893):

and now just solve for dz/dx.. which would be the partial derivative.

ok i think i get it, i just needed to see a practical example
