Find the partial derivatives of f(r,s)=ln(r^2=s^2) and partial derivative of u(t,w)=te^(w/t)

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

So I solve both problems and got them right but I have a questions.

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

When solving the partial of u why does the t stay when taking respect to w?

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

and when you take the partial of f respect to s the r stays.

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

oops made a mistake up above the = sign is suppose to be a +

OpenStudy (anonymous):

partial derivatives treats every other variable as a constant

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

yes, i know that but when taking partial of f respect to s shoudnt the r up front just go away because it's considered to be a number

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

it could be 1

OpenStudy (raffle_snaffle):

so the answer should be 2s/(r^2+s^2) not 2rs?(r^2+s^2)
