Final answer:

To find the partial derivatives ∂s/∂z and ∂t/∂z using the chain rule, the original expressions for z, x, and y are required, which are not provided in the question. Once obtained, the chain rule and inverse function theorem can be applied to solve for the desired derivatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem provides expressions for z, x, and y in terms of variables s and t, and asks us to use the chain rule to find the partial derivatives ∂s/∂z and ∂t/∂z. The chain rule is a formula to compute the derivative of a composite function. The formula for the chain rule when we have two inner functions u(s,t) and v(s,t) and an outer function z(u,v) is given by:

∂z/∂s = (∂z/∂u)(∂u/∂s) + (∂z/∂v)(∂v/∂s)

Similarly, we can find ∂z/∂t using the same chain rule approach. However, the question asks for the inverse of these derivatives, ∂s/∂z and ∂t/∂z, which would require the application of the inverse function theorem and the solution of a system of linear equations derived from the initial chain rule expressions.

In part B, after calculating these partial derivatives, we substitute the values (s,t) = (-2, -1) to find the numerical values.

Unfortunately, without the complete original expressions for z in terms of s and t, and the expressions for x and y, a specific step-by-step solution to this problem cannot be provided.
