Given the function , which of the following is the correct expression for the partial derivative of with respect to ?
A
B
C
D

Step 1: Recall the definition of a partial derivative. The partial derivative of a function with respect to a variable involves treating all other variables as constants while differentiating with respect to the chosen variable.
Step 2: Identify the function z = sin(xy). Here, z is a function of two variables, x and y, and xy is the product of x and y.
Step 3: Apply the chain rule for differentiation. Since z = sin(xy), we differentiate sin(xy) with respect to x. The derivative of sin(u) with respect to u is cos(u), so the derivative of sin(xy) with respect to x is cos(xy) multiplied by the derivative of xy with respect to x.
Step 4: Compute the derivative of xy with respect to x. Treat y as a constant, so the derivative of xy with respect to x is simply y.
Step 5: Combine the results. The partial derivative of z with respect to x is y * cos(xy).
