Let z=e−xy2,x=ssint, and y=s2cost

(a) Find ∂z∂s

by using the Chain Rule, Theorem 12.33

(b) Find ∂z∂sby evaluating f(x(s,t),y(s,t))=f(ssint,s2cost)and taking the partial derivative with respect to sof the resulting function.

(c) Show that your answers from parts (a) and (b) are the same. Which method was easier?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) -e-s3sin2tcos2t5s4sintcos2t

Part (b)-e-s5sintcos2t5s4sintcos2t

Part (c) The method based on the chain rule is less difficult than the method used in part (b).

Step by step solution

01

 Part (a) Step 1: Given information

z=e-xy2,x=ssint and y=s2cost

02

Part (a) Step 1: Explanation

Let z=e-xy2,x=ssintand y=s2cost

The goal is to locate ∂z∂susing chain rule.

According to the chain rule

∂z∂s=∂z∂x∂x∂s+∂z∂y∂y∂s

where z=f(x,y),x=u(s,t)and y=v(s,t)

First, find ∂z∂x

∂z∂x=∂∂xe-xy2=e-xy2-y2∂∂xx=-y2e-xy2

Next find ∂z∂y

∂z∂y=∂∂ye-xy2=e-xy2(-x)∂∂yy2=-2xye-xy2

Again, find ∂x∂s

∂x∂s=∂∂s(ssint)=sint∂∂ss=sint

Also, find ∂y∂s

∂y∂s=∂∂ss2cost=cost∂∂ss2=2scost

Thus,

∂z∂s=∂z∂x∂x∂s+∂z∂y∂y∂s=-y2e-xy2sint+-2xye-xy2(2scost)=-e-xy2y2sint+4xyscost=-e-xsintx2cost2s2cost2sint+4(ssint)s2costscost=-e-ssins4con2ts4cos2tsint+4s4sintcos2t=-e-s3sin2tcos2t5s4sintcos2t

Part (b) Step 1: Explanation

The goal is to find ∂z∂s

Rewrite the function as

z=e-xy2=e-ssins2cos22=e-ssins2cos2t=e-x3sincos2t…….(1)

Differentiate ( 1 ) partially with respect to s

∂z∂s=∂∂se-s3sin2cos2t=e-s3sin2fcos2t∂∂s-s5sintcos2t=e-s5sintcos2t-sintcos2t∂∂ss5=-e-s5sin2tcos2t5s4sintcos2t

Part (c) Step 1: Explanation

Parts (a) and (b) show that the outcome is the same. The method based on the chain rule is less difficult than the method used in part (b).
