Question:

If \(z=x^2-y^2\), then \[ \frac{1}{x}\frac{\partial z}{\partial x}+ \frac{1}{y}\frac{\partial z}{\partial y} = \]

Show Hint

In partial differentiation, treat other variables as constants.
  • \(1\)
  • \(2x+2y\)
  • \(0\)
  • \(2x-2y\)

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
Given: \[ z=x^2-y^2 \]

Step 2:
\[ \frac{\partial z}{\partial x}=2x \] \[ \frac{\partial z}{\partial y}=-2y \]

Step 3:
Substitute: \[ \frac{1}{x}(2x)+\frac{1}{y}(-2y) \] \[ =2-2 \] \[ =0 \] \[ \boxed{0} \]
