### Compute the First-Order Partial Derivatives of the Function

Given the function:

\[ w = \frac{6x}{\left(x^2 + y^2 + z^2\right)^{5/2}} \]

We need to compute the first-order partial derivatives with respect to \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \). Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.

---

#### Partial Derivative with Respect to \( x \)

Calculate \( \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} \):

\[ 
\frac{\partial w}{\partial x} = \frac{6\left(x^2 + y^2 + z^2\right)^{5/2} - 30x^2\left(x^2 + y^2 + z^2\right)^{3/2}}{\left(x^2 + y^2 + z^2\right)^5} 
\]

The formula shown is marked incorrect.

---

#### Partial Derivative with Respect to \( y \)

Calculate \( \frac{\partial w}{\partial y} \):

\[ 
\frac{\partial w}{\partial y} = \frac{-30xy}{\left(x^2 + y^2 + z^2\right)^{7/2}} 
\]

---

#### Partial Derivative with Respect to \( z \)

Calculate \( \frac{\partial w}{\partial z} \):

\[ 
\frac{\partial w}{\partial z} = \frac{-30xz}{\left(x^2 + y^2 + z^2\right)^{7/2}} 
\]

---

**Key Points:**
- When calculating the partial derivatives, it is important to apply the product and chain rules accurately.
- For the partial derivative with respect to \( x \), simplify the expression correctly to avoid errors.
- The notation \( \frac{\partial w}{\partial x} \), \( \frac{\partial w}{\partial y} \), and \( \frac{\partial w}{\partial z} \) signifies partial derivatives with respect to \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) respectively.

This solution illustrates the steps to find the first-order partial derivatives of a function given in a specific form. Perfect accuracy and simplification are critical in obtaining the correct mathematical expressions.
