#f_x = ze^(xz)+y#

#f_y = x#

When we differentiate with respect to a given variable, all other variables are treated as constants. Thus, given
#f(x, y, z) = e^(xz)+xy#

#" "#

#f_x = d/dx(e^(xz)+xy)#

#=(d/dxe^(xz))+(d/dx(xy))#

#=ze^(xz)+y#

and

#f_y = d/dy(e^(xz)+xy)#

#=(d/dye^(xz))+(d/dyxy)#

#=x#
