The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Hard problem

A differentiable function w=f(x,y)w = f(x,y) satisfies f(1,2)=5f(1,2) = 5, fx(1,2)=3f_x(1,2) = 3, and fy(1,2)=−2f_y(1,2) = -2. A particle's position is x(t)=t2x(t) = t^2, y(t)=t+1y(t) = t+1, so it passes through (1,2)(1,2) at t=1t=1. Use the chain rule and a linear approximation to estimate ww at t=1.1t=1.1.
