The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Superchallenge problem

The equation z3+xz+y=0z^3 + xz + y = 0 defines zz as a smooth function of (x,y)(x,y) near the point (x,y,z)=(−2,1,1)(x, y, z) = (-2, 1, 1). Find the Hessian determinant zxxzyy−zxy2z_{xx}z_{yy} - z_{xy}^2 at (x,y)=(−2,1)(x, y) = (-2, 1).
