Step 1
Consider the following function:
w=sin(x+yz)
Differentiate w with respect to x taking y and z as constant:
wx=xsin(x+yz)
=cos(x+yz)
Differentiate w with respect to y taking x and z as constant:
wy=ysin(x+yz)
=cos(x+yz)
Differentiate w with respect to z taking x and y as constant:
wz=zsin(x+yz)
=cos(x+yz)
Step 2
Consider the following formula:
dw=wxdx+wydy+wzdz
=cos(x+yz)dx+cos(x+yz)dycos(x+yz)dz
