Final answer:


\((\partial z)/(\partial u) = 3u^2(xe^y + e^y)\) and
\((\partial z)/(\partial v) = -3v^2(xe^y - e^y)\), considering the given expressions for
\(z\), \(x\), and
\(y\).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find
\((\partial z)/(\partial u)\) and
\((\partial z)/(\partial v)\), we'll use the chain rule and compute the partial derivatives step by step:

Given:


\[ z = x \cdot e^y \]


\[ x = u^3 - v^3 \]


\[ y = u^3 + v^3 \]

1. Compute
\((\partial z)/(\partial u)\):


\[ (\partial z)/(\partial u) = (\partial z)/(\partial x) \cdot (\partial x)/(\partial u) + (\partial z)/(\partial y) \cdot (\partial y)/(\partial u) \]


\[ (\partial z)/(\partial x) = e^y \]


\[ (\partial x)/(\partial u) = 3u^2 \]


\[ (\partial z)/(\partial y) = x \cdot e^y \]


\[ (\partial y)/(\partial u) = 3u^2 \]


\[ (\partial z)/(\partial u) = e^y \cdot 3u^2 + x \cdot e^y \cdot 3u^2 \]

2. **Compute
\((\partial z)/(\partial v)\):**


\[ (\partial z)/(\partial v) = (\partial z)/(\partial x) \cdot (\partial x)/(\partial v) + (\partial z)/(\partial y) \cdot (\partial y)/(\partial v) \]


\[ (\partial x)/(\partial v) = -3v^2 \]


\[ (\partial y)/(\partial v) = 3v^2 \]


\[ (\partial z)/(\partial v) = e^y \cdot (-3v^2) + x \cdot e^y \cdot 3v^2 \]

These expressions provide the partial derivatives of
\(z\) with respect to
\(u\) and
\(v\), respectively. The specific values will depend on the values of
\(u\) and
\(v\) in the given domains where the functions are defined.
