**Section 4: Derivatives of a Multivariable Function**
**§13.3, Question 49:** Consider the function \( w = w(x, y, z) \).
Given by the expression:
\[
w = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2}
\]
We are tasked with finding the following partial derivatives:
**Part (a):** Find \(\frac{\partial w}{\partial x}\).
**Part (b):** Find \(\frac{\partial w}{\partial y}\).
**Part (c):** Find \(\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}\).
---
*Note: This exercise involves finding the rate of change of the function \( w \) with respect to the variables \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) individually, while considering the other variables constant. This is a common technique in multivariable calculus called partial differentiation.*](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3f0128e8-6553-498c-afa0-dd14e88e258d%2F2f1be981-b64e-408e-a46f-7eb5a1d6d3eb%2Faxgyqa7_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
