In this video we are given that negative 2x cubed minus y cubed plus 5z cubed minus 5xyz minus 894 equals 0.
00:15
We want to find the partial of z with respect to x and the partial of z with respect to y at the point 1, 4, 6.
00:24
Okay, so we're going to let f of x y z equal negative 2x cubed minus y cubed plus 5z cubed minus 5xyz minus 894.
00:38
The partial of f with respect to x is negative 6x squared minus 5yz.
00:45
The partial of f with respect to y is negative 3y squared minus 5xz.
00:50
The partial of f with respect to z is 15z squared minus 5xy.
00:58
So the partial of z with respect to x is negative of the partial of f with respect to x divided by the partial of f with respect to z, which is equal to negative, that's on the outside, and then we have negative 6x squared minus 5yz divided by 15z squared minus 5xy.
01:24
And the partial of z with respect to y is negative of the partial of f with respect to y divided by the partial of f with respect to z, which is negative of, and then we have negative 3y squared minus 5xz divided by 15z squared minus 5xy.
01:48
So now that we have the partial of z with respect to x and the partial of z with respect to y, we could evaluate both of those at the point 1, 4, 6.
02:00
So if i want the partial of z with respect to x at the point 1, 4, 6, i'm going to come up here and replace x with 1, y with 4, and z with 6.
02:14
And you might notice i have a sum in the numerator.
02:19
So what i did was i distributed the negative to each term within the numerator.
02:24
And a negative times a negative is a positive, right? so the partial of z with respect to x evaluated at the point 1, 4, 6 is 6 times 1 squared, right? replace x with 1, plus 5 times 4 times 6...
