Problem 1.45. As an illustration of why it matters which variables you hold fixec
when taking partial derivatives, consider the following mathematical example. Le
w = ry and z = yz.
(a) Write w purely in terms of x and z, and then purely in terms of y and z.
(b) Compute the partial derivatives
and
and show that they are not equal. (Hint: To compute (ðu/dz)y, use i
formula for w in terms of r and y, not z. Similarly, compute (ðu/ar}:
from a formula for w in terms of only z and z.)
Christina has $103 earned from babysitting saved at home, and the amount is modeled by the function h(x) = 103. She reads about a bank that has savings accounts that accrue interest according to the
function s(x) = (1.03)-¹. Explain how Christina can combine the two functions to model the total amount of money she will have in her bank account as interest accrues after she deposits her $103. Justify
your reasoning.
