Explanation:

Given:
x^5w + w^7 + wz^2 + 8yz = 0

Taking the partial derivative of the above equation with respect to z, we get


x^5\frac{\partial{w}}{\partial{z}} + 7w^6\frac{\partial{w}}{\partial{z}} + z^2\frac{\partial{w}}{\partial{z}} + 2z + 8y =0

Collecting all terms containing
\frac{\partial{w}}{\partial{z}}, we get


(x^5 + 7w^6 + z^2)\frac{\partial{w}}{\partial{z}} = -2(z + 4y)

Then


\frac{\partial{w}}{\partial{z}} = (-2(z + 4y))/(x^5 + 7w^6 + z^2)

The partial derivative
\((\partial w)/(\partial z)\) for the given function x^5w + w^7 + wz^2 + 8yz = 0 is
\(-(2wz + 8y)/(5x^4)\), obtained through the process of implicit differentiation.

To find the partial derivative
\((\partial w)/(\partial z)\) for the given implicit function
\(x^5w + w^7 + wz^2 + 8yz = 0\), we'll use implicit differentiation.

Start by taking the partial derivative of each term with respect to z:


\[5x^4 (\partial w)/(\partial z) + 2wz + 8y = 0.\]

Next, isolate
\((\partial w)/(\partial z)\):


\[5x^4 (\partial w)/(\partial z) = -2wz - 8y.\]

Now, solve for
\((\partial w)/(\partial z)\):


\[(\partial w)/(\partial z) = -(2wz + 8y)/(5x^4).\]

This is the partial derivative of w with respect to z.

In conclusion, the partial derivative expresses the rate of change of w with respect to z in the context of the given implicit equation.
