Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We're given a function ww that depends on xx, yy, and zz, and each of *those* variables depends on tt.
We need to find how ww changes with respect to tt, which is dwdt\frac{dw}{dt}. Watch out! Don't forget the chain rule!
Since ww depends on xx, yy, *and* zz, and they *all* depend on tt, we need to consider how each variable contributes to the overall change in ww.

STEP 2

1. Find the individual derivatives.
2. Apply the chain rule.
3. Substitute and simplify.

STEP 3

Let's **start** by finding the partial derivatives of ww with respect to xx, yy, and zz.
Remember, a partial derivative means we treat the *other* variables as constants.

STEP 4

First, wx\frac{\partial w}{\partial x}.
Treating yy and zz as constants, we get: wx=3x2exp(2y)cos(7z) \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} = 3x^2 \cdot \exp(2y) \cdot \cos(7z) We brought down the exponent of xx and reduced it by one, just like regular differentiation.

STEP 5

Next, wy\frac{\partial w}{\partial y}: wy=x32exp(2y)cos(7z) \frac{\partial w}{\partial y} = x^3 \cdot 2\exp(2y) \cdot \cos(7z) The derivative of exp(2y)\exp(2y) with respect to yy is 2exp(2y)2\exp(2y).

STEP 6

Finally, wz\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}: wz=x3exp(2y)(7sin(7z)) \frac{\partial w}{\partial z} = x^3 \cdot \exp(2y) \cdot (-7\sin(7z)) The derivative of cos(7z)\cos(7z) with respect to zz is 7sin(7z)-7\sin(7z).

STEP 7

Now, let's find the derivatives of xx, yy, and zz with respect to tt: dxdt=cos(t+π2) \frac{dx}{dt} = \cos\left(t + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) dydt=1t+3 \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{1}{t+3} dzdt=1 \frac{dz}{dt} = 1

STEP 8

The **chain rule** tells us that: dwdt=wxdxdt+wydydt+wzdzdt \frac{dw}{dt} = \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{\partial w}{\partial y} \cdot \frac{dy}{dt} + \frac{\partial w}{\partial z} \cdot \frac{dz}{dt} This formula shows how the change in each variable xx, yy, and zz contributes to the overall change in ww.

STEP 9

Now we **substitute** all our derivatives into the chain rule formula: dwdt=(3x2exp(2y)cos(7z))cos(t+π2)+(x32exp(2y)cos(7z))1t+3+(x3exp(2y)(7sin(7z)))1 \frac{dw}{dt} = \left( 3x^2 \cdot \exp(2y) \cdot \cos(7z) \right) \cdot \cos\left(t + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) + \left( x^3 \cdot 2\exp(2y) \cdot \cos(7z) \right) \cdot \frac{1}{t+3} + \left( x^3 \cdot \exp(2y) \cdot (-7\sin(7z)) \right) \cdot 1

STEP 10

Let's **substitute** the expressions for xx, yy, and zz in terms of tt: dwdt=3sin2(t+π2)exp(2ln(t+3))cos(7t)cos(t+π2)+2sin3(t+π2)exp(2ln(t+3))cos(7t)t+37sin3(t+π2)exp(2ln(t+3))sin(7t) \frac{dw}{dt} = 3\sin^2\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\exp(2\ln(t+3))\cos(7t)\cos\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + \frac{2\sin^3\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\exp(2\ln(t+3))\cos(7t)}{t+3} - 7\sin^3\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\exp(2\ln(t+3))\sin(7t)

STEP 11

We can **simplify** this using the fact that exp(2ln(t+3))=(t+3)2\exp(2\ln(t+3)) = (t+3)^2: dwdt=3(t+3)2sin2(t+π2)cos(7t)cos(t+π2)+2(t+3)sin3(t+π2)cos(7t)7(t+3)2sin3(t+π2)sin(7t) \frac{dw}{dt} = 3(t+3)^2\sin^2\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\cos(7t)\cos\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + 2(t+3)\sin^3\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\cos(7t) - 7(t+3)^2\sin^3\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\sin(7t)

STEP 12

dwdt=3(t+3)2sin2(t+π2)cos(7t)cos(t+π2)+2(t+3)sin3(t+π2)cos(7t)7(t+3)2sin3(t+π2)sin(7t) \frac{dw}{dt} = 3(t+3)^2\sin^2\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\cos(7t)\cos\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + 2(t+3)\sin^3\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\cos(7t) - 7(t+3)^2\sin^3\left(t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)\sin(7t)
