f_z(x, y) = 12x^5 + 3y^4\\f_y(x, y) = 12xy^3 - 3y^2

The given function is f(x, y) =
2x^6 + 3xy^4 - y^3. To find the partial derivatives of f, we treat y as a constant when taking the partial derivative with respect to x, and vice versa.

Finding
f_z(x, y)

When taking the partial derivative with respect to x, we treat y as a constant. Therefore, the partial derivative of f with respect to x is:


f_z(x, y) = 12x^5 + 3y^4

Finding
f_y(x, y)

When taking the partial derivative with respect to y, we treat x as a constant. Therefore, the partial derivative of f with respect to y is:


f_y(x, y) = 12xy^3 - 3y^2
