The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Challenge problem

Let z=x2+y2z = x^2 + y^2 and w=xyw = xy. Regard zz as a function of xx and ww (eliminate yy). Find (∂z∂x)w\left(\dfrac{\partial z}{\partial x}\right)_{w}, the rate of change of zz with respect to xx with ww held constant, at the point x=1x = 1, y=2y = 2.
