To find zx and zy using implicit differentiation, we consider the equation x2+2y2+5z2=9.
First, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, treating y and z as functions of x:
x(x2+2y2+5z2)=x(9)
Using the chain rule, we get:
2x+4ydydx+10zdzdx=0
Next, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to y, treating x and z as functions of y:
y(x2+2y2+5z2)=y(9)
Using the chain rule, we get:
4xdxdy+4y+10zdzdy=0
Now, we can solve these equations to find zx and zy.
From the first equation, we isolate dzdx:
2x+4ydydx+10zdzdx=0
10zdzdx=2x4ydydx
dzdx=2x10z4y10zdydx
zx=x5z2y5zyx
Similarly, from the second equation, we isolate dzdy:
4xdxdy+4y+10zdzdy=0
10zdzdy=4xdxdy4y
dzdy=4x10zdxdy4y10z
zy=2x5zxy2y5z
